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

But 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

But you could only find yourself that way

In hearts suspicion flowers

In hands numb with jealousy

Sleepwalking lightning showers

Transform effortlssly

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
