      The lights of the ashes smoulder through hills and vales, 
Baug             Em                          Baug      Em 
      Nostalgia burns in the hearts of the strongest,

      Picasso is painting the ships in the harbour, the wind--- and----- sails, 
Baug                  Em               Baug               Em 
      These are years... with a genius------  for living!

    The rope is cut, the rabbit is loose, 
                                  (Fire at will in this open sea - son!)

The blood of a poet, the ink in the well! 
                              (It's all written down in this age-- of rea - son!)
