From the point he gazed from the choice was made, but 'walk the cave or the shore?' |
| [00:14.14] |
The oily cave seemed to breathe on him through gravestone jaws |
| [00:18.22] |
His little hand grasped in anguish as he weighed up his coin |
| [00:22.62] |
Somewhere a blue-eyed girl in the world is just waiting for a boy |
| [00:26.98] |
Footprints trailed as if trod by slaves up to the grey cave floor |
| [00:31.35] |
But not one graze from anything ever escaping this fort |
| [00:35.76] |
So with coin on hand his joy came back when ordered to take the shore |
| [00:40.22] |
'Why on earth', as he wandered the warmth, 'am I obeying this coin?' |
| [00:44.52] |
Turn your life on the flip of this coin |
| [00:48.92] |
Turn upside a choice you'd normally avoid |
| [00:53.44] |
And promise me you'll follow what it says |
| [00:57.80] |
Whatever it says |
| [01:00.56] |
|
| [01:02.00] |
Again, walk within the trusted beach or swim the swell of the sea? |
| [01:06.51] |
And again the scarier alternative looked like certain death to he |
| [01:11.23] |
He'd never learnt to skill of swimming - it never occurred to be very easy |
| [01:15.57] |
And again he winced as he flipped the coin and it twirled to his feet |
| [01:19.63] |
'How is this sane?' he blamed the coin now aiming for the waves |
| [01:24.06] |
As he hesitated at the swirl of water as it raged and rained |
| [01:28.45] |
Blue-eyed girls were waiting and he was drowning in the spray |
| [01:33.01] |
Blue-eyed girls he should have been acquainted with but for shouting and flailing |
| [01:37.70] |
Turn your life on the flip of this coin |
| [01:41.73] |
Turn upside a choice you'd normally avoid |
| [01:46.21] |
And promise me you'll follow what it says |
| [01:50.74] |
Whatever it says |
| [01:53.65] |
|
| [01:54.87] |
He finally slugs it back to land feeling chewed-up and foolish |
| [01:59.93] |
Empties his pockets on the sand spewing a pool each |
| [02:03.93] |
Staggers back to his dad who's too cool to be |
| [02:08.29] |
So he says 'why did you have me follow this stupid rule, please?' |
| [02:12.77] |
To be honest little fellow I'll tell you |
| [02:15.32] |
I was just as afraid as you |
| [02:17.29] |
But you said you wanted to get with people and places ever new |
| [02:21.36] |
And I got a bit scared of the fate of my baby son's future |
| [02:25.70] |
So I invented a reason to see if you could ever make do |
| [02:29.92] |
As soon as you appeared behind that rock looking angry at me |
| [02:34.47] |
I soon realised what a hell of a man you've ended up being |
| [02:38.70] |
I knew you'd worked out how to swim, which I hadn't had in me |
| [02:43.56] |
And I stand as a companion of you, proudest a man has ever been |
| [02:48.26] |
Turn your life on the flip of this coin |
| [02:52.36] |
Turn upside a choice you'd normally avoid |
| [02:56.74] |
And promise me you'll follow what it says |
| [03:00.95] |
Whatever it says |
| [03:04.90] |
