about

All fiction. But I like it. I had a crush on a girl named Rachael at the time. I was wanting to use the relationSHIP set sail line for years. Finally happened.

lyrics

I asked father for a hand in purchasing a plot of land.
A modest home is what we chose.
A mortgage loan; we'd soon forclose.
I was blind. Plans are blind
and impossible to fail.
I woke up only to find.
My train of dreams had just derailed.

I asked Rachael for her hand
in marriage, life, a family and
got down on bended knee
inside the restaurant with glee.
Had it down. A hand-me-down
was impossible to fail.
I stood up and there I drowned
while my future fiancee set sail.

I asked mother for her hand
in comforting a broken man.
And for hours, it seemed, there I
cried endless showers.
The last goodbye.
I was blind.
Love is blind and impossible to fail.
I woke up only to find
My relationship had recently set sail.
