1
I'm a long way from my home
2
I was born on the raging sea
3
And when I first struck land,
4
With my head in hand
5
I built a house out of an old oak tree
6
And raised a family out of earth and electricity
7
I was king of my domain
8
But my fortitude had proved in vain
9
And when the locusts came
10
Like a summer rain
11
Devouring everything that I held dear
12
And all I'd worked for simply disappeared
13
So I crept away
14
For I had debts to pay
15
And joined the army as a privateer
16
Yeah, it was then, the wind it whispered
17
But I would not hear
18
So we sailed out across the land
19
Through an ocean made of sinking sand
20
And though I lost my men,
21
I was born again
22
As a tailor in an unknown land
23
With a needle and some thread in hand
24
Mending suits and slacks,
25
Stitching up the cracks
26
In the backs of my neighbors' heads
27
And soon the word, yeah, of my work, it spread through the town
28
So before the king I stood
29
I said, "I come from the raging sea
30
And if the truth be told,
31
I am not so old
32
As you may first have taken me to be
33
For numbers never could apply to me
34
For I'm as old as time,
35
And maybe half as blind
36
What some of you might call infinity
37
I am the tailor of the earth and electricity."ย
