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 ?
