THERE ON THE LADDER OF REGRET?
MIGHTY RIVER, GIVE HER ALL SHE GETS.

WITH LITTLE CHANCE OF MUCH SUCCESS?

WHEN LIKE THE DAMSEL IN DISTRESS?

NO SAND, (no sand) NO PALE, (no pale)
NO FAIRYTALE ANY MORE.

DON'T BE STOPPED BY INSANITY.
COME ON, RIVER, OVER FLOW,
LET YOUR LOVE FOR YOUR NEIGHBOURS GROW.
YOU ARE THE RIVER, I AM THE STREAM,
