              Distant times  in distant lands
            There's a crisis     in the outer world
           In life so delicate      and strange

          Worthless money    changing hands
            In the sky the smoke trails curl
        Understanding seldom comes in range

    Changing them to what?          I wonder
      Some Winnipeg boys          are Cypress bound
        We stumble through   familiar scenes

          As in the dust  a jet plane thunder
       I hope they live to touch home ground

  Carries every     feeling into      blue
  I hope we live to touch if just once more
  In this cluttered landscape  to be  loved

  I miss you        like I miss the   flowers in bloom
  I need you        like the river    needs the shore
  I need you        like I need the   stars above
