The Tailor (Album) - Blitzen Trapper[00:00:01]
I'm a long way from my home[00:00:04]
I was born on the raging sea[00:00:07]
And when I first struck land [00:00:10]
With my head in hand[00:00:11]
I built a house out of an old oak tree[00:00:14]
And raised a family out of earth and electricity[00:00:17]
I was king of my domain[00:00:24]
But my fortitude had proved in vain[00:00:27]
And when the locusts came[00:00:31]
Like a summer rain[00:00:32]
Devouring everything that I held dear[00:00:34]
And all I'd worked for simply disappeared[00:00:38]
So I crept away[00:00:41]
For I had debts to pay[00:00:43]
And joined the army as a privateer[00:00:45]
Yeah it was then the wind it whispered[00:00:48]
But I would not hear[00:00:50]
So we sailed out across the land[00:01:19]
Through an ocean made of sinking sand[00:01:23]
And though I lost my men [00:01:26]
I was born again[00:01:28]
As a tailor in an unknown land[00:01:30]
With a needle and some thread in hand[00:01:33]
Mending suits and slacks [00:01:37]
Stitching up the cracks[00:01:39]
In the backs of my neighbors heads[00:01:40]
And soon the word yeah of my work it spread through the town[00:01:43]
So before the king I stood[00:02:08]
I said I come from the raging sea[00:02:11]
And if the truth be told [00:02:14]
I am not so old[00:02:16]
As you may first have taken me to be[00:02:18]
For numbers never could apply to me[00:02:22]
For Im as old as time [00:02:25]
And maybe half as blind[00:02:27]
What some of you might call infinity[00:02:28]
I am the tailor of the earth and electricity [00:02:32]
