Mischief Looks Out a Window

It ran along the backbone like a stoney ripple plunged Darker in the deep of hearty's forgotten tarn How high, how high did that water rise? To be carried off by conduits, banked by its fall Oh Europe it lays waiting, it's crumbled castles ungunned Docked are the hopes of ships which once followed each sun That sky, that sky was thick then with lies That was years ago honey, it's light-years away still Broken hearted, broken hearts mend Get the better of them all You see, warm are the icecaps north of your blind wanderings Give a sigh to them I dare, they'll groan back a cheer God knows, Darwin knows that ain't a shame And mischief looks out a window, the Sun in at you Hum at a guess that the terrors of dreaming are smiling Happily defeated and receding to clear Those skies, those skies awaiting your name Just swing the propeller, above weather, it's all blue Whole hearted, whole hearted my friend Get the better of them all...
