Well you reel off the reasons real well why the real world's not well
E D A A
You wield the reel well with a will like the wind in a mill-wheel

You wind up the reel. Fish by feel. Cast your hook like a winch in a

You well up for real when you're real when you think I can't tell

Sail the world over like there's something lost you're trying to find

No man's an island, so you won't pick a shore to defend.

You're not sure whether you're looking or whether you've always believed

Well your ships in the wind but you'll find what you seek in your mind.
