Never knew who I was never wkew where I was heading
Start the season strong I’ll start straight from the beginning
White childhood a life made still by boredom
And that is all, enough to keep one lonesome
There is no reason now to keep on telling the story
Of how the city began I enrolled in the army
That was the river
That was the river
That was the river
This is the sea
Make up your mind
Into new light
(old lost sailor looking for the moon)
Open
Wide eyed
