love ties its hopes

love ties its hopes to what it thinks a rock

the furthest outlier of a merry isle

where there's no foe except the hateful clock


 

your modesty inclines you to take stock

in all those things that we would not revile

love ties its hopes to what it thinks a rock


 

impervious to any mortal shock

we hope to land and stay for quite a while

where there's no foe except the hateful clock


 

our ship is not for any normal dock

we've gone way past the ordinary style

love ties its hopes to what it thinks a rock


 

rejects enclosure will break every lock

and has more power still than any bile

where there's no foe except the hateful clock


 

though you despise and though you still may mock

our sacred purpose you cannot defile

love ties its hopes to what it thinks a rock

where there's no foe except the hateful clock
