Lyrics:
Does it go from east to west
Body free and a body less
Come again just to start a fresh
Once again to find a home
In the moment of the meantime

Dropping in coming through the mesh
Checking in just to get it blessed
Hard to leave when its picturesque
Find a form thats free the roam
Where you coming from
Where you going

Do it all then it all again
Make it up and you make a friend
Paddle on just around the bend
Find a place where you can see
All the mamas and the papas

Take a chance on a recommend
Hard as hell just to comprehend
Disbelief that I do suspend
Easy now to find a breeze
Where you come from
Where you going

We all want to tell her
Tell her that we love her
Venice gets a queen
Best Ive ever seen
We all want to kiss her
Tell her that we miss her
Venice gets a queen
Best Ive ever

I know you said you dont believe
In God do you still disagree
Now that its time for you to leave
Is love my friend

Your stylish mess of silver hair
A woman of your kind is rare
Your uniform returns to air
Is love my friend

And now its time for you to go
You taught me most of what I know
Where would I be without you glo
Is love my friend

I see you standing by the see
The waves you made will always be
A kiss goodbye forever you leave
Is love my friend
