that's me

well i'll just skip the boring parts chapters one

two

three

and get to the place where you can read my face and my biography

here i am

i'm eleven months old

dangling from my daddy's knee

there i go

it's my graduation

i'm picking up a bogus degree

that's me

early me. that's me

well i never cared much for the money

and money never cared for me

i was more like a land-locked sailor

searching for the emerald sea

just searching for the emerald sea

boys

searching for the sea

oh my god

first love opens like a flower

a black bear running through the forest light holds me in her sight and her power

but tricky skies

your eyes are true

the future is beauty and sorrow

still

i wish that we could run away and live the life we used to

if just for tonight and tomorrow

i am walking up the face of the mountain

counting every step i climb

remembering the names of the constellations

forgotten is a long

long time

that's me

i'm in the valley of twilight

now i'm on the continental shelf

that's me

i'm answering a question i am asking of myself
