It seemed to him that a mist which hung at the far end of the wood had parted for a moment, and through the rift he had seen a calm sea, and in the sea an island, where the smooth turf sloped down unbroken to the bays…

The Pilgrim’s Regress (Grand Rapids, MI: Wm. B. Eerdman’s Publishing Co., 1958) p24
All I want
Is only what I know can be so true
Nothing wrong
Looking for the answer like I do
But it’s so hard sometimes
To keep it in my mind
That what I really want I’ll find
If I keep in touch with you
And that’s all I want
I take my time
And know it’s always much too long
I change my mind
But anyway I end up going wrong
I’ll never be half so much a fool
When I finally leave this school
But I know of one thing that’s a rule
Is just to keep in touch with you
And that’s all I want
You painted a picture in my mind
And now that’s all I want to find
Ask me why
Nothing seems to fill my sweet desire
And hear me sigh
Thinking how it’s keeping me on fire
There’s got to be a way to fill that space
And nothing else can take its place
The only thing to keep me in the race
Is to keep in touch with you
And that’s all I want
You painted a picture in my dreams
Only you can tell me what it means
But it’s so hard sometimes
To keep it in my mind
That what I really want I'll find
If I keep in touch with you
And that’s all I want
