Bill Callahan - Jim Cain Lyrics
I started out in search of ordinary things
How much of a tree bends in the wind
I started telling the story without knowing the end
I used to be darker, then I got lighter, then I got dark again
Well it seemed like a routine case at first
With the death of the shadow came a lightness of verse
But the darkest of nights, in truth, still dazzles
And I work myself until I'm frazzled
I ended up in search of ordinary things
Like how can a wave possibly be?
I started running, and the concrete turned to sand
I started running, and things didn't pan out as planned
Remember the good things I've done
In case things go poorly and I not return
Remember the good things I've done
Oh oh oh oh-oh
Done me in

Journey of the gentle man.
One of the most perfect musics I ever heard.
i started out in search of ordinary things
how much of a tree bends in the wind
i started telling a story without knowing the end
i used to be darker
then i got lighter
then i got dark again
something too big to be seen
was passing over and over me
Marvelous!
