[00:15.03] Who did you say you were?
[00:17.45] I didn't catch your name
[00:21.08] Falling down to earth
[00:23.80] Down from a higher plane
[00:27.08] Oh, it's been decades Oh,
[00:29.69] Say, what did you see?
[00:32.86] Oh, I've been so lonely Oh,
[00:35.45] Won't you keep me company?
[00:38.33]
[00:50.82] Do you remember me?
[00:53.50] We met out on the farm
[00:56.97] By the fire, you spoke to me
[00:59.48] And held me in your arms
[01:03.18] The songs you played for me
[01:05.54] I long to understand
[01:08.86] All along the watchtower
[01:11.38] And castles made of sand
[01:14.64] When there was a wilderness
[01:17.48] we wandered wild and free
[01:20.70] Guilt, she is the governess
[01:23.37] that guides me back to grief
[01:26.62] What if we were dumb enough to spend eternity
[01:32.56] Gathering the garbage washed up on the beach?
[01:39.21]
[02:08.28] Do you remember me?
[02:10.32] We spoke by telephone
[02:13.67] The bad connection had a meaning of its own
[02:19.51] Of all the good and all the stupid shit I've done
[02:25.60] The worst was all for me
[02:28.04] Not hurting anyone
[02:31.62]
[02:55.21] When there was a wilderness
[02:58.13] I wandered wild and free
[03:01.17] Guilt, she is the governess
[03:03.96] that guides me back to grief
[03:07.35] Wish that I was old enough to end the century
[03:13.24] Gather all the garbage washed up on the beach
[03:21.94]
[00:15.03] Who did you say you were?
[00:17.45] I didn' t catch your name
[00:21.08] Falling down to earth
[00:23.80] Down from a higher plane
[00:27.08] Oh, it' s been decades Oh,
