A Boat! A Boat!

Small boats! small boats!

my power’s in small boats!

for hate we trawl

with those small boats,

Planet Earth

with that flower on your hat

You're so arrogant and sweet

it stops me from catching breath

 

How could universe had chosen me

to sew it's starlit magic net?

When I hold you - we fly

back home to Planet Earth
