Log in the Waves - Mount Eerie

Broken hearted and sad, I walk upright;

A dumb ape in a world of dumb apes

A log in the waves

Knowing sorrow’s always beside me, I walk upright

«O crown of light!»

I sometimes say

«I know you’re grand

But I must not forget my wife

So I hold her hand»

And with the wide-eyes sorrow brings

We see it all, like logs in the waves:

Effortless through oceans squalls

And we know storms are relentless

So so are we, we will not leave

Sadness (my wife) and I are honest with each other

And in mornings, I reach my hand under the quilt

Where she hides to tickle her feet

And at my touch, she cracks a smile
