[00:00.00] 作词 : Fisher, Reid
[00:00.79]I sat me down to write a simple story
[00:10.12]which maybe in the end became a song
[00:18.90]In trying to find the words which might begin it
[00:25.89]I found these were the thoughts I brought along
[00:34.89]
[00:34.99]At first I took my weight to be an anchor
[00:43.56]and gathered up my fears to guide me round
[00:52.22]but then I clearly saw my own delusion
[00:59.28]and found my struggles further bogged me down
[01:08.00]
[01:08.04]In starting out I thought to go exploring
[01:16.55]and set my foot upon the nearest road
[01:25.18]In vain I looked to find the promised turning
[01:32.22]but only saw how far I was from home
[01:40.10]
[01:40.14]In searching I forsook the paths of learning
[01:48.69]and sought instead to find some pirate's gold
[01:55.12]In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me
[02:02.48]and still no hidden truths could I unfold
[02:20.52]
[02:26.52]I sat me down to write a simple story
[02:34.88]which maybe in the end became a song
[02:43.49]The words have all been writ by one before me
[02:50.38]We're taking turns in trying to pass them on
[02:58.29]Oh, we're taking turns in trying to pass them on
