That's Me

[Verse] 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 [Outro] 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
