I'm not trying to make something die

Originating in the heart of something

Worth keeping in the soul when it gets hurt

As we keep on building roads of boxes

To think inside of what we will 
C               E                 A D7 
With increasing distance from the foxes

From the wolves and whip-poor-wills

Mermaids and the galleons of horse

Crossing over onto waves of fortunes

On the shore   On the shore

On the shore   On the shore

On the shore   On the shore 
C              F 
On the shore   On the shore

Rescued there by primative tribesman

Living in round triangles forevermore

Never ever in a straight line

Over the dry land between the castles

Or the herds of horses grazing on the clover
