《At The Beginning of Time(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:24] At the beginning of time

[00:00:29] Before there were waves

[00:00:32] We'd sit in our boats

[00:00:41] We'd float there all day

[00:00:48] And there weren't any waves

[00:00:55] Cuz there wasn't any wind

[00:01:01] Cuz there wasn't any sun

[00:01:04] We were waitin for the world to begin

[00:01:11] *we were waiting in the darkness*

[00:01:17] Each in our own boat

[00:01:24] Each in our own thoughts

[00:01:44] Sometimes you could hear people talking amongst themselves but

[00:01:50] Someone had a boat with wheels and I said

[00:01:54] You're a bit early but I know how you feel

[00:01:57] But mostly it was just silence

[00:01:58] And the silence was only broken by

[00:02:06] The absence of the clinking of the masts

[00:02:13] And every now and then a bird would not fly by

[00:02:26] And someone would look up and say what wasn't that

[00:02:35] *we were waiting in the darkness*

[00:02:38] And one night

[00:02:50] Or was it day

[00:02:51] I was awoken from a dream

[00:02:54] I was dreaming of someplace like I'd never been

[00:03:02] And I heard someone say

[00:03:03] Someone's fallen in and they can't swim

[00:03:07] So I leaned out and I pulled them in

[00:03:13] And he was holding his head

[00:03:15] And it was huge and shaped like a fish

[00:03:19] And he slid down to the crook of the keel

[00:03:25] And when I was sure he'd fallen asleep

[00:03:28] I fell back to my reverie

[00:03:35] *we were waiting waiting waiting*

[00:03:40] *waiting in the darkness*

[00:03:47] And you know what I miss most about that time

[00:04:08] Was the quality of the blackness

[00:04:11] It was soft somehow in the absence of fear

[00:04:17] You could take it into your mouth

[00:04:18] And send it out through your teeth

[00:04:19] My dear

[00:04:23] But the silence

[00:04:25] Oh if I could go back to those times

[00:04:31] I'd take that silence there

[00:04:34] I'd take it into myself and bring it back to you

[00:04:42] And this is what I'd say

[00:05:02] *waiting in the darkness*

[00:05:06] At the beginning of time

[00:05:17] Before there were waves

[00:05:24] We'd sit in our boats

[00:05:30] We'd float there all day

[00:05:34] Or was it night

[00:05:36] And there weren't any waves

[00:05:42] Cuz there wasn't any wind

[00:05:48] Cuz there wasn't any sun

[00:05:51] We were waiting for the world to begin

[00:05:59] *we were waiting for the world to begin*

[00:06:11] Now

[00:06:11] No
