Oh, my friend of every hour, minute
Of every day and week
Of every reminisce and ponder
Oh, how this world is a tongue-twister
And how I fall for every little trap
Every single net across the sea of time
To catch a wild swordfish
With wild, willing bait
What a fool I am, to cast you out like that
Forgive a poor swordfish, love of mine
Sweet forever friend of mine
I never seem to see every side of the world
On every curve about its spherical shape
Forgive me, my precious friend
For blindness of a bat, has taken my sight
