And watch the light around you, shed some laugh upon your fCace.

Before the Cuyahoga RiCver burns the whole dowEmntown.
Sandusky summertime was 4D5 minutes aGway.  CO-H- BmI-O!
EmThey do karate where I was setDting up and checking the souGnds.
Someone singing along with riCvers in it, so you Emsay.
Sandusky summertime was D45 minutes away.
