[00:00.27]I sat me down to write a simple story
[00:09.45]Which maybe in the end became a song
[00:18.63]In trying to find the words which might begin it
[00:25.74]I found these were the thoughts I brought along
[00:35.34]At first I took my weight to be an anchor
[00:43.95]And gathered up my fears to guide me round
[00:53.01]But then I clearly saw my own delusion
[01:00.03]And found my struggles further bogged me down
[01:08.97]In starting out I thought to go exploring
[01:17.91]And set my foot upon the nearest road
[01:26.94]In vain I looked to find the promised turning
[01:33.96]But only saw how far I was from home
[01:42.09]In searching I forsook the paths of learning
[01:51.03]And sought instead to find some pirate's gold
[01:57.57]In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me
[02:05.34]And still no hidden truths could I unfold
[02:29.76]I sat me down to write a simple story
[02:38.49]Which maybe in the end became a song
[02:47.46]The words have all been writ by one before me
[02:54.27]We're taking turns in trying to pass them on
[03:01.23]Oh, we're taking turns in trying to pass them on
