I guess he lost control, and welcomed in the night

It was too much for him, what were his thoughts that night?

But it left Dave alone, it just kept flowing on.

There was a place there where he lost himself

Strange feelings did he feel there, strange people

Did he meet there, angry sounds did he hear there

DLike the howling of bulls A

EI’m not goiBng to cry A I bet he Dhit the water higAh E

I’m not going to cry I bet he hit the water high
