 Intro
Well  Id rather dress a wolf,  you said.
Well  Id rather floss his teeth,  I said.
We  fought til the ferry was full  and that wolf was dead.
Ships  ahoy and were out of  the car,
under  howling winds and skies  of lead,
we  might as well have been crossing the ocean  except this ocean is dead.
 Interlude
Theres  a smudge of moon over  Glenora,
ferry  spotlights on the ice  ahead,
and  over your shoulder and through the snowflakes  theres an aloneness.
Aloneness.
Aloneness as  dead, as  dead as that ocean is dead.
And  that ocean is dead.
Back  under the glow of the interior  light,
blowing  hard into my hands  I said,
Lets  leave this boat to the snowflakes  to the aloneness.
Aloneness.
Aloneness as  dead, as  dead as that ocean is dead.
And  that ocean is dead.
