  1. I had a little boat
    I called it Life
    Once I went out
    and never came back.

    All of a sudden
    there was a big wind
    and Waves like Mountains
    Many things raced through my mind.
    In the lonely chanting of the sea
    I heard the echoes of eternity.
    And in the Fantasy of Cloud and Sky
    I saw the one who Lives
    while all things Die.
    And I was swallowed by the Sea
    and lost in the Deep
    and washed up on the Shore.


    When I awaken
    the Storm was over
    and the Sea was calm.
    It was Strange and Wonderful
    like seeing the World
    and seeing through the World
    And when I told the people in the village
    that I went out
    and never came back
    They all laughed
    and called me the Wanderer
    And I laughed with them
    And they didn’t know.
    They were the ones.
    And so I found my way
    and found my Home
    On Eden’s Island
    Where the Wind has been telling the Truth
    Forever, and Ever, and Ever.
