LYRICS=
Someone told me long ago
when I got there I would know
I would see and understand
but then it all got out of hand
It was simple at the start
Keep it clean and watch your heart
but then it started moving fast
cause someone said it wouldn’t last
and I tried to make it fit
into the time that I had left
and then the whole charade was gone
and I still had to move along
I went down to Tallahassee
no one knew that I was me
I got a job there tending bar
Till I heard, I know who you are.
No, I am not a person
Just a myth in people’s minds
a spirit in the ethers and...
very hard to find
Once again I’m on my way
to look for Caladrano Bay
Someone said it’s up ahead
That’s what the guy before him said
I lived there almost fifty years
Till I got those knowing stares
You don’t seem to age, they say
and once again, I’m on my way
I met a man one time somewhere
gave me some powder and a prayer
It gave me life, I don’t know why
and now it seems I cannot die
No, I am not a person
Just a myth in people’s minds
a spirit in the ethers and...
very hard to find
That also means I cannot stay
and where is Caladrano Bay?
There’s less cause for asking why
When you know you cannot die
No, I am not a person
Just a myth in people’s minds
a spirit in the ethers and...
very hard to find
because I’m never there
when you turn and look
Maybe you’ll look harder then
until I’m off the hook
It’s like the child’s game of tag
but you don’t know until the touch
and then I’m gone where did I go?
the one I touch will never know
No, I am not a person
Just a myth in people’s minds
a spirit in the ethers and...
very hard to find
extremely hard to find
Near impossible to find
but I did... Oh yes, I did...
and so...
perhaps...
you might...
If you can get the pattern right.
If you can get the pattern right.
If you get the incantation right
cause if you don’t, then...
it’s good night.
