lyrics

And once the dust does settle on your non-sting nettle I'll be here again
And if the tide is distant from the seashore listen, we can heal again
And if the boat does take us to an unknown region in the winter time
We'll check the love resistance when the water glistens in a gliding line

And sail on through to catch the butterfly
I know she's always mine and I know she's always yours
I sail on you the joy is cut and dried
I see the love is on and we're taking what we want

And when the disc does reel only to reveal thatcha eased again
And if the tone is mending and the sound is sending out a rhyming line
and if the boat goes for us round the crispest chorus in a darker time
Turn up the good old volume so the sound don't con you when ya feeling fine

Consume the tune, grow from the melody
You know it's ending now, gonna have to hear again
Consume it soon! Absorb the sweetest song
You know it seemed so short when you wished that it were long

Drifting at midnight
dancing like candlelight
Swimming in rainstorms
Laughing until the dawn

And sail on through to catch the butterfly
I know she's always mine and I know she's always yours
I sail on you the joy is cut and dried
I see the love is on and we're taking what we want

Jump into the boat I'm rowing now...

Woo hoo yeah! Shooby Doop
