Decidated to the Memory of Daniel aka Fleet - his great passion was for music and so without further ado some lyrics from Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull.

Bless you Fleet.


When youre falling awake and you take stock of the new day,
And you hear your voice croak as you choke on what you need to say

Well, dont you fret, dont you fear,
I will give you good cheer.

Lifes a long song.
Lifes a long song.
Lifes a long song.


If you wait then your plate I will fill.

As the verses unfold and your soul suffers the long day,
And the twelve oclock gloom spins the room,
You struggle on your way.
Well, dont you sigh, dont you cry,
Lick the dust from your eye.

Lifes a long song.

We will meet in the sweet light of dawn.

As the baker street train spills your pain all over your new dress,
And the symphony sounds underground put you under duress,
Well dont you squeal as the heel grinds you under the wheel.

Lifes a long song...
Lifes a long song...
Lifes a long song...

But the tune ends too soon for us all.
