Who did you say you were, I didn′t catch your name

Falling down to earth, down from a higher plane

Oh, it's been decades, say, what did you seeOh, I′ve been so lonely, won't you keep me company

Do you remember me, we met out on the farm

By the fire you spoke to me and held me in your arms

The songs you played for me I long to understand

"All Along The Watchtower" and "Castles Made of Sand"

When there was a wilderness we wandered wild and free

Guilt, she is the governess that guides me back to grief

What if we were dumb enough to spend eternity

Gathering the garbage washed up on the beach

Do you remember me, we spoke by telephone

The bad connection had a meaning of its own

Of all the good and all the stupid shit I've done

The worst was all for me, not hurting anyone

When there was a wilderness I wandered wild and free

Guilt, she is the governess that guides me back to grief

Wish that I was old enough to end the century

Gather all the garbage washed up on the beach
