Well I´ll just skip the boring parts Chapters one, two, three And get to the place where you can read my face And my biography
Here I am, I´m eleven months old Dangling from my daddy´s knee There I go, it´s my graduation I´m picking up a bogus degree
That´s me, early me That´s me, that´s me
Well I never cared much for the money And money never cared for me I was more like a land-locked sailor Searching for the emerald sea Just searching for the emerald sea, boys Searching for the sea
Oh my God First love opens like a flower A black bear running through the forest light Holds me in her sight and her power
But tricky skies, your eyes are true The future is beauty and sorrow Still, I wish that we could run away and live the life we used to If just for tonight and tomorrow
I am walking up the face of the mountain Counting every step I climb Remembering the names of the constellations Forgotten is a long, long time
That´s me, I´m in the valley of twilight Now I´m on the continental shelf That´s me, I´m answering a question I am asking of myself
