[Verse 1]
If all the swallows in the sky
Should fall to their graves, in my name
If a tidal wave washed through my city
I'll turn another page
And start again

[Verse 2]
If a devils march should play when they lay me to rest
With blood-rose garlands covering my hollow chest
If tiger-lilies grow over my headstone
I'll turn another page
I'll turn another page
And start again

[Verse 3]
As nature fights its way out through the cracks
Of pavements often trodden, I believe that
I'll find my way
Regardless of the aging of the trees
No matter how tempestuous the seas
I'll find my way
I'll turn another page
