Poor Lyle, he lives in an hourglass, counting every grain he sees Nothing but time, always the sun, curse of thirst felt with his teeth But he still has his arms, he still has his legs Nowhere to walk to, and nothing to hold
After a panic, gathered his wits about, put action to plan confirming his survival With ROCKS for his tools, AND SALT for his wounds, AND LUCK TO SAIL AWAY But not, if it's windy, and not if it's cold And nothing to risky, and nothing to bold
