Theodore of the Atlantic

Oh, Theodore

Take me to the shore

Of where I used to play

 

I want the gravel, and the stone wave

With the sign that read,

'Children, don't misbehave'

 

Foggy afternoon, you'll set sail

And when you do,

Don't you lose that red ball cap

 

Imagine that,

Imagine something more

Than just a photograph

 

Briny sea breath

Rolling off the cove,

Into the cracks of the car window

 

Heavy highway left behind

For small back roads,

And hidden groves

 

Where by itself,

A salty breeze blows
