Bilingual
When I was a young man, I
Sank into the shadows where the edge begins to blur
And when I was a young man, I
Sought out the places where the shadows were
And then luck found me
Out on the open sea
Hoisting up the main sail high
Emblem of the mirror in the stitching on the ocean breeze
Nibbles in the nets all night
Kings up in their castles not arrayed like these
Out there where the dreams come from
When will my moment come?
Everything that sinks will float
Everything that sinks will float
We went down to the boat
ย
When we built the fire, I knew
When the smoke settled, it would come down to us two
Just a lucky guess, you know
Show me the places where a lucky guesses go
But when I was a young man, I, I
I sought out the sky
Everything that sinks will float
Everything that sinks will float
We went down to the boat
