In the dark see the steps of the man
Who is looking for the light in the lay of the land
When the hills to the [?] break through the clouds
And the breath of the wind who's alight with the sun
Of an A and an O, and the talisman is here
And an A and an O, and the talisman is here

Spies and the sparks with the ease of the gods
And the cooking and the clocking
And the [?] and the [?]
Till we sleep by the fire that was laid 'fore we came
The guide in the river who sits proud in the rain
With an A and an O, and the talisman is here
And an A and an O, and the talisman is here

There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh, oh oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh, oh oh

River flow, river come back to the [?] the stern
And the age in which we're walking has no time to burn
Through the trees, through the reeds
And the one who'd draw below
Gone with us, always with us
As we shoot the breeze and blow
For an A and an O, and the talisman is here
And an A and an O, and the talisman is here

There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh, oh oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh
There's a tarp in the prop oh, oh oh
