Lyrics By Land and By Sea - Deborah Stokol

I'd know you by land and by sea
You'll be the flower, and I'll be the bee

I'll be the wind that will shake your tree
If you're sweet, by your leave
I will sway your lee

Does the ship in the bottle
Feel safe or enclosed?
Sheltered, enfolded
The glass loves it most

Do the nuts and the bolts
Cry a halt to the volts
Or begin a sweet waltz to the fire?

My life is my art
But I give you my heart
Be careful
Take care that you care for it well

I'll share in the paint
And I know I'm no saint
But I do what I can
With the soul that I am

Does the ship in the bottle
Feel safe or enclosed?
Sheltered, enfolded
The glass loves it most

Do the nuts and the bolts
Cry a halt to the volts
Or begin a sweet waltz to the fire?

The anchor does not know
What it holds
Yet it's bold
To remain
In the dark of the deep
Stillness

The grey wolf will
Recognize the eyes of its mate
Walk in the path
Of the woods until late

The swans and barn owls
Drink a toast to the voles
Who have found what they sought
In the prairie

Does the ship in the bottle
Feel safe or enclosed?
Sheltered, enfolded
The glass loves it most

Do the nuts and the bolts
Cry a halt to the volts
Or begin a sweet waltz to the fire?
