Jane Siberry - At The Beginning Of Time

Jane Siberry

At The Beginning Of Time

At the beginning of time

Before there were waves

We'd sit in our boats

We'd float there all day

And there weren't any waves

'Cause there wasn't any wind

'Cause there wasn't any sun

We were waiting for the world to begin

We were waiting in the darkness

Each in our own boat, each in our own thoughts

Sometimes you could hear people

Talking amongst themselves but

Someone had a boat with wheels and I said

You're a bit early but I know how you feel

But mostly it was just silence

And the silence only broken by

The absence of the clinking of the masts

And every now and then a bird would not fly by

And someone would look up and say

What wasn't that? We were waiting in the darkness

And one night or was it day? I was awoken from a dream

I was dreaming of someplace like I'd never been

And I heard someone say

Someone's fallen in and they can't swim

So I leaned out and I pulled them in

And he was holding his head

And it was huge and shaped like a fish

And he slid down to the crook of the keel

And when I was sure he'd fallen asleep

I fell back to my reverie

We were waiting, waiting, waiting

Waiting in the darkness

And you know what I miss most about that time?

It was the quality of blackness

It was soft somehow in the absence of fear

You could take it into your mouth

And send it out through your teeth my dear

But the silence oh, if I could go back to those times

I'd take that silence there

I'd take it into myself and bring it back to you

And this is what I'd say

Waiting in the darkness

At the beginning of time

Before there were waves

We'd sit in our boats

We'd float there all day

(Or was it night?)

And there weren't any waves

'Cause there wasn't any wind

'Cause there wasn't any sun

We were waiting for the world to begin

We were waiting for the world to begin

Now?

No

Mirror lyrics:

No

Now?

We were waiting for the world to begin

We were waiting for the world to begin

'Cause there wasn't any sun

'Cause there wasn't any wind

And there weren't any waves

(Or was it night?)

We'd float there all day

We'd sit in our boats

Before there were waves

At the beginning of time

Waiting in the darkness

And this is what I'd say

I'd take it into myself and bring it back to you

I'd take that silence there

But the silence oh, if I could go back to those times

And send it out through your teeth my dear

You could take it into your mouth

It was soft somehow in the absence of fear

It was the quality of blackness

And you know what I miss most about that time?

Waiting in the darkness

We were waiting, waiting, waiting

I fell back to my reverie

And when I was sure he'd fallen asleep

And he slid down to the crook of the keel

And it was huge and shaped like a fish

And he was holding his head

So I leaned out and I pulled them in

Someone's fallen in and they can't swim

And I heard someone say

I was dreaming of someplace like I'd never been

And one night or was it day? I was awoken from a dream

What wasn't that? We were waiting in the darkness

And someone would look up and say

And every now and then a bird would not fly by

The absence of the clinking of the masts

And the silence only broken by

But mostly it was just silence

You're a bit early but I know how you feel

Someone had a boat with wheels and I said

Talking amongst themselves but

Sometimes you could hear people

Each in our own boat, each in our own thoughts

We were waiting in the darkness

We were waiting for the world to begin

'Cause there wasn't any sun

'Cause there wasn't any wind

And there weren't any waves

We'd float there all day

We'd sit in our boats

Before there were waves

At the beginning of time
