Sea Of Tranquility, ©1980 by Gordon Lightfoot

I live in the light of the bright silver moon 
I'll take you off sailing from midnight 'til noon 
I'll show you the Sea of Tranquility 
You can have any flavor you happen to see 

I live in the shade of a forest of green 
In the wildest of woodlands that you've ever seen 
There's rabbits and quail and tender young snails 
As brown as the seaweed on old rusty nails 

There's fireflies dancing in the cool evening breeze 
There's love and romancing as nice as you please 
There's otters and frogs and spotted ground hogs 
And wiley old weasels in rotted out logs 

There's rivers of rainbow and grey mountain trout 
And little dark holes where the varmints hang out 
There's foxes and hares in traps and in snares 
And lots of bald eagles so you'd better take care 

So if you've got the time and you'd like to pass by 
Come down around midnight and give us a try 
We'll show you the Sea of Tranquility 
You can have any flavor you happen to see
