And Simon marked the days
Coming out of darkness 1986
That's when the houses burned
And when the fire died
The cobwebs decorated
He said it's the end of the world
And I can't find anything

And I see myself carried on the water
On the surface of the clay
And I see myself carried on the river

And Jane marked the days
Flying into winter 1989
That's when it fell apart
She said it's funny how
The things you say
Are twisted into hypnotizing rhythm
Sing to my hungry ears

And I see myself carried on the water
On the surface of the clay
And I see myself carried on the river
Bury me under the great shade trees
Of the market
I want to feel the dancers' feet
I want to hear the drum
And I see myself carried on the water
On the surface

And I see myself carried on the river
