if y'all suspension away in addition to operate

the trip the lite fantastic toe is over

Breathlessly y'all volition accept

another partner

better or worse who volition snuff it along

at your side, at your stops

whirls in addition to glides until he besides

leaves off

on his agency downwards every bit if

gayer, to a greater extent than carefree

spinning facial expression upward to facial expression upward but ever downwards

with each other secure

only inward each other’s arms

but alone the trip the lite fantastic toe is sure!

make it your own.

Who tin say what is to come upward of it?

in the woods of your

that holds us,

plays alongside us in addition to discards us
