Interlude 1

She she she she only ever ver ver ver ver Wants to to count count her steps Eighteen teen strides and she stops to abide By the law that she herself has set That eighteen steps is one complete set And before the next nine right and nine left She looks up up at the blue And whispers to all of the above Dont let me drown Dont breathe alone No kicks, no pints, no broken bones Never let me sink. always feel at home No sticks, no shanks and no stones Never leave it too late just enjoy the taste Of a great great great grey world of hearts As all dogs everywhere bark bark bark bark Its worth knowing Like all good fruit the balance of life is in the ripe and ruin
