But you're a CPART of the Cadd4last good, Truth 'fore this Cyellow took my toothC7

And Cthrough this fog at the WaCadd4terfront docks see the Cship sails disapCpear
Yes it is CGONE to aCadd4nother shore where they Csky's shiny, blue and Cclear
But is it CWRONG to exCadd4pect return at the Cend of a troubled yeC7ar?
