HEY AHAB II

WV1650/2010

Coloured pencil and ink on $teinbach paper

 

".....

Hey Ahab can you tell me where

I can catch a ride out of here

Hey Ahab hoist that sail

You've gotta stand up straight

When you ride that whale

 

In a crumbling city we were trapped for days

With a broken sun above the clouds

Caught like Jonah forty fathoms down

And a sign on the wall says, "Hope Allowed"

 

All the cryptic symbols carved on bone

A far cry from a tattooed rose

And when the boys in the rigging catch the wind

We'll all weigh anchor and it's westward ho...."

 

HEY AHAB - Music & lyrics by Elton John, Leon Russell & Bernie Taupin, 2010.
