From Tom "in college bums (hippies) lived in an abandoned building and begged and ate from restaurant garbage cans and used store bathrooms to wash and get water. at night used candles. in this myth an engineer gets tangled up with em cause of a hot hippy chick but they straighten out and have a daughter who starts the cycle again"

one day as I did walk down einstein street
some ragged girl put a note in my hand
it said that "love is the only answer
wont you come along and learn to love with me?"

I followed her down to a building on bridge lane
much to old and ugly to be in demand
written on one window was "love is the greatest dancer;
wont you come along and sing and dance with me ?

we could be eternally
happy every day
ah cast you compass to the sea
and let your love lead the way"

these words the ragged girl did say


inside the building the people were gathered
around a candle that lit up their smiles
my mind was fractured for all my upbringing
shouted out "danger ; I must leave this life style"

and yet I stayed to observe these ragged soldiers
who fight a war agaist wired philosophies
they said that i could join in their questing
to make a better life of love for you and me

we could be eternally
happy every day
ah cast you compass to the sea
and let your love lead the way"

these words the ragged girl did say


ah................ compass to the sea
ah................ compass to the sea
ah................ compass to the sea
ah................ compass to the sea
ah................ compass to the sea
ah................ compass to the sea
ah................ compass to the sea
ah................ compass to the sea

now we are married and she gave me a rainbow
yesterday i saw my daughter playing in the sand
she walked up to a young boy crying
wiped his tears and placed a note in his hand


we could be eternally
happy every day
ah cast you compass to the sea
and let your love lead the way"

we could be eternally
happy every day
ah cast you compass to the sea
and let your love lead the way"

we could be eternally
happy every day
ah cast you compass to the sea
and let your love lead the way"

these words the ragged girl did say
