At the beginning of time[00:00:24]
Before there were waves[00:00:29]
We'd sit in our boats[00:00:32]
We'd float there all day[00:00:41]
And there weren't any waves[00:00:48]
Cuz there wasn't any wind[00:00:55]
Cuz there wasn't any sun[00:01:01]
We were waitin for the world to begin[00:01:04]
*we were waiting in the darkness*[00:01:11]
Each in our own boat[00:01:17]
Each in our own thoughts[00:01:24]
Sometimes you could hear people talking amongst themselves but[00:01:44]
Someone had a boat with wheels and I said[00:01:50]
You're a bit early but I know how you feel[00:01:54]
But mostly it was just silence[00:01:57]
And the silence was only broken by[00:01:58]
The absence of the clinking of the masts[00:02:06]
And every now and then a bird would not fly by[00:02:13]
And someone would look up and say what wasn't that[00:02:26]
*we were waiting in the darkness*[00:02:35]
And one night[00:02:38]
Or was it day[00:02:50]
I was awoken from a dream[00:02:51]
I was dreaming of someplace like I'd never been[00:02:54]
And I heard someone say[00:03:02]
Someone's fallen in and they can't swim[00:03:03]
So I leaned out and I pulled them in[00:03:07]
And he was holding his head[00:03:13]
And it was huge and shaped like a fish[00:03:15]
And he slid down to the crook of the keel[00:03:19]
And when I was sure he'd fallen asleep[00:03:25]
I fell back to my reverie[00:03:28]
*we were waiting waiting waiting*[00:03:35]
*waiting in the darkness*[00:03:40]
And you know what I miss most about that time[00:03:47]
Was the quality of the blackness[00:04:08]
It was soft somehow in the absence of fear[00:04:11]
You could take it into your mouth[00:04:17]
And send it out through your teeth[00:04:18]
My dear[00:04:19]
But the silence[00:04:23]
Oh if I could go back to those times[00:04:25]
I'd take that silence there[00:04:31]
I'd take it into myself and bring it back to you[00:04:34]
And this is what I'd say[00:04:42]
*waiting in the darkness*[00:05:02]
At the beginning of time[00:05:06]
Before there were waves[00:05:17]
We'd sit in our boats[00:05:24]
We'd float there all day[00:05:30]
Or was it night[00:05:34]
And there weren't any waves[00:05:36]
Cuz there wasn't any wind[00:05:42]
Cuz there wasn't any sun[00:05:48]
We were waiting for the world to begin[00:05:51]
*we were waiting for the world to begin*[00:05:59]
Now[00:06:11]
No[00:06:11]
