Sea of Happy-Long-Ago

In the Sea of Happy-Long-Ago
sails many a madman
Wonder if we'll meet

Gonna build me a little paper boat
and rock gently
on the deadly waves

Shall I dive or sink in
my own waters, dear Lord?
Who knows?

Then a storm rose and hit me very hard,
wish-wash brainwash
All the lights are gone

Children laughin' from the Shore of Yore,
the sound wakes me
Could this be my home?

Memories, please stay and
give me shelter, don't go
Don't go
