Lyrics |
(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
