00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:03.540 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:00:03.540 --> 00:00:07.800 align:middle line:84%
You wouldn't want to
reserve the speaker.

00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:10.980 align:middle line:90%
That's a cold way to live.

00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:17.370 align:middle line:84%
But where I come from,
withdrawal is easy to forgive.

00:00:17.370 --> 00:00:22.830 align:middle line:84%
When mother was a girl,
troubles shadowed that country,

00:00:22.830 --> 00:00:25.380 align:middle line:90%
the barren lands.

00:00:25.380 --> 00:00:27.450 align:middle line:84%
Mother ran to school,
winter mornings,

00:00:27.450 --> 00:00:31.350 align:middle line:90%
with hot potatoes in her hands.

00:00:31.350 --> 00:00:38.430 align:middle line:84%
She was like this,
foreign, a stranger.

00:00:38.430 --> 00:00:45.450 align:middle line:84%
She couldn't hear very
well, the world was all far.

00:00:45.450 --> 00:00:48.420 align:middle line:90%
Were the others laughing?

00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:51.660 align:middle line:90%
She never could tell.

00:00:51.660 --> 00:00:54.840 align:middle line:84%
Later, though she
was frightened,

00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:58.200 align:middle line:90%
she loved, like everyone.

00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:04.830 align:middle line:90%
A lean man, mean, took her.

00:01:04.830 --> 00:01:08.130 align:middle line:90%
I am his son.

00:01:08.130 --> 00:01:12.120 align:middle line:84%
He was called Hawk by the town
people but was an ordinary man.

00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:17.490 align:middle line:84%
He lived by hunting and trapping
wherever the old slew ran.

00:01:17.490 --> 00:01:20.640 align:middle line:90%
Our house was always quiet.

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.270 align:middle line:84%
Summers, the windmill
creaked or a board.

00:01:24.270 --> 00:01:28.980 align:middle line:84%
I carried wood, never
touching anyone.

00:01:28.980 --> 00:01:31.110 align:middle line:90%
Winters, the black stove roared.

00:01:31.110 --> 00:01:34.320 align:middle line:90%


00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:37.200 align:middle line:84%
Forgive me these
shadows I cling to,

00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:43.830 align:middle line:84%
good people, trying to
hold quiet in my prologue.

00:01:43.830 --> 00:01:47.910 align:middle line:84%
Hawks cling to barons
wherever I live.

00:01:47.910 --> 00:01:51.740 align:middle line:90%
The world says, dog-eat-dog.

00:01:51.740 --> 00:01:53.189 align:middle line:90%
