A Beginning - The Ruins

you and I were there

when the sky was born and bled on us

and though you didn’t care

you sure know what it meant

and you and I were there

when the swamps, they cooled and drew us in

and though you didn’t care

you sure know what it meant

and, yeah, you laughed

and, yeah, you cried

and all the rocks, they formed

and then you fell

yeah, you were so high

and all the banks were drowned

and then the evening took us in

and drank out blood away

and then we fell into the sky

and the sun it fell away

it fell away

you and I were there

when the egg, it hatched and showed us life

and though she didn’t care

yeah, she sure knows what it meant

and you and I were there

when the clouds, they sank to tuck us in

and though we didn’t care

yeah, we sure live what we dreamt
