Lyrics:

Does it go from east to west

Body free and a body less

Come again just to start a fresh

Once again to find a home

In the moment of the meantime



Dropping in coming through the mesh

Checking in just to get it blessed

Hard to leave when its picturesque

Find a form thats free the roam

Where you coming from

Where you going



Do it all then it all again

Make it up and you make a friend

Paddle on just around the bend

Find a place where you can see

All the mamas and the papas



Take a chance on a recommend

Hard as hell just to comprehend

Disbelief that I do suspend

Easy now to find a breeze

Where you come from

Where you going



We all want to tell her

Tell her that we love her

Venice gets a queen

Best Ive ever seen

We all want to kiss her

Tell her that we miss her

Venice gets a queen

Best Ive ever



I know you said you dont believe

In God do you still disagree

Now that its time for you to leave

Is love my friend



Your stylish mess of silver hair

A woman of your kind is rare

Your uniform returns to air

Is love my friend



And now its time for you to go

You taught me most of what I know

Where would I be without you glo

Is love my friend



I see you standing by the see

The waves you made will always be

A kiss goodbye forever you leave

Is love my friend
