I'm an open book with no stories,
a hazy dream with no memories
of what's left of my past 1
I'm a safe harbor with no ships,
A sea that is bay to many rivers,
and I am just what I am.
I'm an old boy, who's already had a long life,
who's already suffered any pain and who's already died early.
I'm an old boy who didn't start to live early,
who didn't suffer so much, but not all of me did die.
I'm a free person.
I'm no slave, and never been a master.
I'm just a man
who still believes in love.
