(Fisher / Reid)
|
I sat me down to write a simple story
|
which maybe in the end became a song
|
In trying to find the words which might begin it
|
I found these were the thoughts I brought along
|
At first I took my weight to be an anchor
|
and gathered up my fears to guide me round
|
but then I clearly saw my own delusion
|
and found my struggles further bogged me down
|
In starting out I thought to go exploring
|
and set my foot upon the nearest road
|
In vain I looked to find the promised turning
|
but only saw how far I was from home
|
In searching I forsook the paths of learning
|
and sought instead to find some pirate's gold
|
In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me
|
and still no hidden truths could I unfold
|
I sat me down to write a simple story
|
which maybe in the end became a song
|
The words have all been writ by one before me
|
We're taking turns in trying to pass them on
|
Oh, we're taking turns in trying to pass them on
|
