there, there...down there br through a thicket of fog br beckoned a vacant boat br i fought through the fog br and reached a zone, misty br the boat pulled me as if br i were a piece of iron br i hastened through br the layers and layers... br there i was, at last br assured that it would br take me to the other bank br it wasn't to be br the gently rocking boat br began on an erratic sail br down down the stream br in its womb of deception br hid many a whirlpool br the waters jerky... br hey, what was i doing br sitting in a boat with no oars br nor knowing how to swim...! br br 'you're the boatman br you're the oars... br row row... br the other bank br a distant dream br row row...' br br a song filled the stream...
