I'm taking time to be, all the things they tried to make me not be.
I'm taking time to see, all the things they kept hidden so longly.
I'm taking time for me, I have had enough of everybody.
I'm taking time to read, all the books they gathered up for burning.
I'm goin' sailin', sailin' in the ocean blue.
It seems ridiculous to say it, I'm goin' with the traveler that never moved.
I'm taking time to feel, of the accumulated suffering.
I'm taking time for meals, that I cooked all by myself and timely.
I'm taking time to steal, words that might have came from the divine tree.
I'm taking time to peel, all the layers that left a trail behind me.
I'm goin' sailin', sailin' in the ocean blue.
It seems ridiculous to say it, I'm goin' with the traveler that never moved.
Music.
I'm goin' sailin', sailin' in the ocean blue.
It seems ridiculous to say it, I'm goin' with the traveler that never moved.
It's always one extreme to the other extreme but it's likely.
It's balanced in the real, real is what there so take it lightly.
I'm goin' sailin', sailin' in the ocean blue.
It seems ridiculous to say it, I'm goin' with the traveler that never moved.

Looking down at the valley, the one where I grew up.
I can see my house from here, just beyond the bush.
Looking down at the valley, the one that fucked me up.
I can see my house from here, and I must say it's looking good.
When the wind is northly, my head's out the southside window in the morning.
When the wind is northly, my head's out the southside window in the morning.
Looking back at the past, there is much I'm fond of.
I can see my life from here, but I can't remember some of it.
Looking back at the journey, to use an American term.
I can see my path from here, and it's still manifestin'.
When the wind is northly, my head's out the southside window in the morning.
When the wind is northly, my head's out the southside window in the morning.

Remembering Young Gordon

Remembering Young Gordon, who build my brothers shed.
Had his whole life ahead of him so he chose death instead.
I knew him as a youngster so that is what I see.
When I think of him in solitude & silent memory.
Remembering Young Gordon who braved the other side.
Had a job to go to but other things in mind.
I knew him as an innocent & I do not blame.
For when I was 21 I probably felt the same.
Remembering Young Gordon the grieving part is done.
People say I do not care but I'm like everyone.
Remembering Young Gordon & those he left behind,
are never far away because hello is a goodbye.

Frodo in the Shire

Feel like Frodo in the Shire, after journey to mordor.
I'm tired but I'm resting & I'll soon be good to go.
Feel like fighting for something instead of against.
We tried that all before & we went round in circles.
I can't tell, I can't tell, I can't tell if I've gone & changed too much,
or if everyone around me hasn't changed enough.
I don't mean to sound bigheaded but I think I have evolved.
Now all my friends & relatives think I've lost the plot.
But if down there is for dancing up there is for thought.
And I think I've seen right through all the superficial stuff.
I don't know what to say to anybody anymore.
Hey how was your day? I'm sure it was a bore!
Did you get up in the morning, did you lie awake all night?
Maybe you would not if you understood your mind.
Feel like fleeing every hour somewhere far from here.
My psychopathic neighbour drives his tractor near.
Shows off his big ego & shines light in my eyes.
Has he got nothing better to do with his useless time?
