Lyrics

[00:17.63] Well I'll just skip the boring parts
[00:21.58] chapters one, two, three
[00:24.85] and get to the place where you can read my face and my biography.
[00:31.03] Here I am, I'm eleven months old,
[00:35.16] dangling from my daddy's knee.
[00:37.73] There I go, it's my graduation,
[00:42.53] I'm picking up a bogus degree.
[00:44.90] That's me.
[00:48.31] Early me.
[00:51.75] That's me.
[00:58.54] Well I never cared much for the money,
[01:01.95] and money never cared for me.
[01:05.46] I was more like a land-locked sailor,
[01:09.16] searching for the emerald sea.
[01:12.24] Just searching for the emerald sea, boys,
[01:16.18] searching for the sea.
[01:30.27] Oh my God.
[01:33.46] First love opens like a flower.
[01:41.01] A black bear running through the forest light
[01:47.00] holds me in her sight and her power.
[01:53.64] But tricky skies, your eyes are true,
[02:00.70] the future is beauty and sorrow.
[02:07.20] Still, I wish that we could run away and live the life we used to.
[02:14.82] If just for tonight and tomorrow.
[02:48.62] I am walking up the face of the mountain.
[02:52.24] Counting every step I climb.
[02:55.63] Remembering the names of the constellations.
[02:58.93] Forgotten is a long, long time.
[03:02.12] That's me.
[03:03.77] I'm in the valley of twilight.
[03:05.87] Now I'm on the continental shelf.
[03:09.87] That's me-I'm answering a question I am asking of myself
