And say everything looked so appealing everything just as it should I am the rhombus for ill or for good you'll see we'll hit the end and then we'll be just short a mile and a half And say everything wasn't enough roses that couldn't have seen armies of aphids on oceans of green it's there it's all everywhere it was something I hadn't expected Today went for a walk in the morning minding the ants all around queen of the hearts is asleep on the ground good luck your final deal is struck and I'll keep your hand close to my heart Don't fret don't sing a song that is frightful seldom does anyone care how or for why as a piece or a pair it sighs is lost inside as a following gesture is gone
