Dinosaurs and Sages

from Cardboard Boat by David Berkeley

about

Track 9 from Cardboard Boat, David Berkeley's newest album. It pairs with his new novella The Free Brontosaurus -- ten intertwining short stories, each which accompanies each song on the album.

lyrics

I’ve been looking so long
Wasn’t sure for what
I’ve been wondering what’s wrong
always wrong side up

see me on the corner
see me in the road
Feeling like a foreigner
Who cannot crack the code
Oh to go back to the start

But Then I saw a part of you
That no one else could see
And I saw the heart of you
And all that you could be

And I know you can go anytime you want to
But I hope you will stay

here’s one for the ages
some say all along
from dinosaurs to sages
no one seems to stay too long
How I tried to go back to the start


Until I saw a part of you
That no one else could see
And I saw the heart of you
And all that you could be

And I know you can go anytime you want to
But I hope you will stay

Strange how things can change you
strange what will remain
one day you’re in Plainview
now my whole life has changed
oh, it’s a brand new start

now that you see a part of me
that no one else can see
and you see the heart of me
and all that I can be
Well, I know you can go anytime you want to
But I hope you will stay
And you know I can go, anytime I want to
But so you know I'll stay
