When I was much younger
I loved a maiden and she loved me too
Daga daga daga
The sky was of paper
and the moon was of metal
It’s true
Ch 1: We climbed up a mountain
We rummaged the sky
We found a beach where
The whales go to cry
Inst
We feasted on plankton
We stumbled on seaweed
It’s true
We ruffled the storm clouds
And taunted the lightning
It’s true
Ch 2: She blew me a kiss
Filled with starlings and tears
She uncaged my raven
I unhinged her fears
When I grew much older
And she grew much colder
I knew
That meanings keep changing
Though rivers keep raging
It’s true
He lay on a pyre with his eyes looking dead
With fragments of metaphors stuck in his head
