A history of whispers, a shadow of a horse

Silence leads the spirit over the bridge of time

With crazy angel voices all night

Peaceful as a hurricane eye

Peaceful as a hurricane eye

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe

She was baking a cinnamon pie

She fell asleep in a washing machine

Woke up in a hurricane eye
