Donovan Lives Forever

[garran]

Every Summer they tell him the same thing -
"You're never getting this one back";
Every Summer young Donovan sets out
To liquidate this lack;

Every Summer he comes to the same
Conclusions all over again;
Every Summer that taste of foreboding -
Ignored, of course - and then,

Every Summer he turns to the strange old
Machine that he found by the shore;
Every Summer he says, "I need this just
A little more";

Every Summer we strive along
The same old, worn out track;
Every Summer is this one, forever,
'Cause Donovan brought it back.
