Me and the puzzled travellers We searched the ground for wealth And scoured the dreaming valleys On days where shadows melt Digging for the blue and the green Constant in opal or ultramarine If you could only find yourself that way
And dust was my companion And thirst caked all our words Unearthing nearly nothing We swarmed like carrion birds Some for fortune, some for greed Some for want, some for need If you could only find yourself that way
In hearts suspicion flowers In hands numb with jealousy Sleepwalking lightning showers Transform effortlessly Thinking of all that I left behind Down in the shaft when my mind was blind But you couldn't even find yourself that way
