During the solitude-ridden time of agony and pain
When my body lies bruised and my soul lies slain
Ridden with unceasing pain and ever-ceasing gain
Sing me a soothing song in a soothing mellow voice
A song a about orange sunsets and a yellow rose of choice
In that instant when my body is drenched by rain
When I am unknown-bound in an unknown train
When I am alone around demons of strange grain
Hum me a calming tune oh low heart
Have filled with tranquilizing notes my hollow gut
When my steady feet abandon me in the hullaballoo
When my hardy grit forsakes me too
A steady beat laced with a heart-warming coo
As sure as the sky is blue will get me through
So heart, tap a steady beat for me, won’t you?
A song as sweet as the blossom of a healthy vine
A tune calm as when winter storms have ceased to chide
A beat slow and steady like a cathedral bell’s chime
Will get us through for as long as the truth is true
So sit simple sweet feeble heart and sing, please do
