lyrics

The Shelter

Three little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother duck said won’t you come on back
And only two little ducks came running on back
I’m the little ugly duckling I’m the one who got away
For Life would be too easy if I was to stay
I’m the little ugly duckling the one they could not find
They call me Pinocchio for all my lies

Oh come on lay me down
Rest your bones
We’ll make a home

Home is where the heart is, home is in the mind
Like the dreams in my pockets, with me all the time
Attachment’s an illusion but our bodies are tied
It’s the shelter in our mind when our souls collide

So I row, row, rowed my boat down that stream
Skipped, hopped and jumped, till I could not be seen
Somewhere over the rainbow I had a dream that there’d be fields of gold and a yellow submarine
Let’s hit the road jack and don’t you come back, like jack and jill we’ll roll down that hill
It’s a step to the left and then a jump to the right
We’ll do the hokey pokey and feel fine
