Always a riddle in the world, she said
Always a riddle inside my head
Always a thing of wonder
Τhe way we come to be
Oh it's a big old place for me
It's a big old world indeed
Everyone is killing me
Αnd everything conspires
Oh in dreams I have watched it spin
Seen the violent crack of our tongues,
Where all light comes in
Oh in dreams I have lain in sin
Just to be the cracked and the cared for
How can I ask, ask for more
Always a riddle in the world, she said
Always a riddle inside my head
Always a thing of wonder
The way we come to be
Oh it's a big old place for me
It's a big old world indeed
Kicking my heels and wondering
How I've been here so long
Oh in dreams I have watched it spin
Seen the violent crack of our tongues,
Where all light comes in
Oh in dreams I saw Aesop's kin
Just a carcass of a man now alone inside his skin
Where to, where to begin
I live alone, oh
I live a lonely life without you here
And I may be troubled
But I'm gracious in defeat
Oh I may be troubled
But I'm gracious in defeat
