The daughters of Albion
taking the dawn ferry to tomorrow
worrying about what happened
worrying about what hasn't happened
lacing up blue sneakers over brown ankles
fastening up brown stockings to blue suspenderbelts

Additional quotes by Adrian Henri

Well I woke up this mornin' it was Christmas Day
And the birds were singing the night away
I saw my stocking lying on the chair
Looked right to the bottom but you weren't there

Tonight at noon
Supermarkets will advertise 3d EXTRA on everything

Without you ghost ferries would cross the Mersey manned by skeleton crews
