So Protected ---------------- Her castle stands right by the sea She will not hold your hand, she is free Her flag's a feather; gulls agree And she'll swear it was destined to be Wholly the lady, Safe, sound, and steady She nods to the foam, says hello Her gulls line the gatepost in a row Her guests are the waves, and they go And she'll swear that they curtsy just so Queenly and ready, Safe, sound, and steady Wholly the lady, Safe, sound, and steady The wind is too cold to ignore And the kelp line draws nearer her door In her pail goes the shiver, and more The old jetty's the same as before Queenly and ready, Safe, sound, and steady The tide climbs her walls, and they're wet And the towers go soft, there's no threat She scoops up the sand, she's not upset Then the sea takes the lot, no regret Wholly made ready, Safe, sound, and steady Never unsteady, Tide's in, she's ready --- "So Protected" Copyright © 2026 Rik n' Stolti.
