Humble Passenger Dr. Dog

I set out before the sun came up
Brought my light and my canoe
Convinced that’s all I needed
Lord knows that wasn’t true…

So I kept my lantern low, until my house was out of view
And by and by I reached the ocean, as the day made its debut
And in the misty summer morning, I found myself under attack
And in the panic of that water, I knew there was no turning back
So I made my peace and I set my course for an island to the west

For on that shore of sycamore, I’ll find myself some rest
Once I hid my boat and covered my oars, I fell down into that shade
And I dreamt that at my ripe old age I was back in the second grade
And my momma she was calling for me and the bus came down my street
But I did not know what shoes to wear, and I could not find my feet

So I floated down the hall, through the door, and everything went pale
I climbed aboard that yellow bus as it turned into a whale
And then it swallowed me up whole, yeah it thrashed me all around
Well it chewed me up, and it spit me out, miles above the ground

And I was falling for the water that was boiling in a cup
And I tried to scream, but had no steam, and that’s when I woke up
When I came to I was so confused, how long was I asleep?
The loneliness I felt right then was enough to make me weep
