One by onethey followed the sun
One by oneuntil there were none.
Two by twoto their lovers they flew
Two by twointo the foggy dew.
Three by threethey danced on the sea
Four by fourthey danced on the shore
Five by fivethey tried to survive
Six by sixthey were playing with tricks.
Bridge #1:
How many paths did they try and fail?
How many of their brothers and sisters lingered in jail?
How much poison did they inhale?
How many black cats crossed their trail?
Seven by seventhey headed for heaven
Eight by eightthey got to the gate
Nine by ninethey drank the wine
Ten by tenthey drank again.
Bridge #2:
How many tomorrow s have are they given away?
How many compared to yesterday?
How many more without any reward?
How many more can they afford?
Two by twothey stepped into the ark
Two by twothey step in the dark.
Three by threethey re turning the key
Four by fourthey turn it some more
One by onethey follow the sun
Two by twoto another rendezvous.
