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
