The Cloudy Sea

Larry Schwartz


Sometime I’ll

hitch a pony and

sail upon the sea,


Meantime these

cloudy skies are

blue enough for me, lord,

blue enough for me


Sometime I’ll swear

allegiance to some

sacred text or creed


Then again I’ll

swear an oath to

keep my spirit free, good lord,

keep my spirit free


Sometime I’ll

beg a favour from

one who pleases me


Another time I’ll hitch

a pony and sail

the cloudy sea, lord,

sail the cloudy sea
