00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:03.120 align:middle line:84%
And then this comes out
of just passing someone

00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:04.890 align:middle line:84%
on the street who
looks down and out

00:00:04.890 --> 00:00:09.120 align:middle line:84%
and thinking about
what they're thinking

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:12.360 align:middle line:90%
when they see you pass them.

00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:16.890 align:middle line:90%


00:00:16.890 --> 00:00:18.600 align:middle line:84%
It's called "Words
From A Poor Man".

00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.180 align:middle line:90%


00:00:21.180 --> 00:00:24.780 align:middle line:84%
"You'd like to believe that
wanting the best for yourself

00:00:24.780 --> 00:00:28.950 align:middle line:84%
means wanting the
best for me as well.

00:00:28.950 --> 00:00:32.890 align:middle line:84%
But so far, to judge
by your actions,

00:00:32.890 --> 00:00:36.240 align:middle line:84%
it seems to mean you want
me to be as happy in my two

00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.510 align:middle line:84%
cramped rooms by
the dock as you are

00:00:39.510 --> 00:00:43.860 align:middle line:84%
in you're spacious house
by the golf course.

00:00:43.860 --> 00:00:46.710 align:middle line:84%
May I feel the meagerness
of my window life

00:00:46.710 --> 00:00:51.180 align:middle line:84%
far less than you would
and be untroubled by noise

00:00:51.180 --> 00:00:54.600 align:middle line:90%
and smells you'd find offensive?

00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:58.140 align:middle line:84%
May I like my job cleaning
boats enough so as not

00:00:58.140 --> 00:01:00.930 align:middle line:84%
to be vexed at the
end of the week

00:01:00.930 --> 00:01:05.850 align:middle line:84%
that my wallet is empty
after I've paid my landlord

00:01:05.850 --> 00:01:08.850 align:middle line:90%
and bought my groceries?

00:01:08.850 --> 00:01:12.120 align:middle line:84%
If I can imagine the
lives beyond my reach,

00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.420 align:middle line:84%
you hope I can rise
above resentment

00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:20.580 align:middle line:84%
to a lofty tranquility of the
spirit you couldn't manage.

00:01:20.580 --> 00:01:24.390 align:middle line:84%
So the long list of
missed opportunities

00:01:24.390 --> 00:01:28.950 align:middle line:84%
isn't a heavy chain
dragging me down.

00:01:28.950 --> 00:01:33.510 align:middle line:84%
If I can't believe in a future
waiting for me with open arms,

00:01:33.510 --> 00:01:37.560 align:middle line:84%
you hope I can embrace the
moment more tightly than you

00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:43.470 align:middle line:84%
can, but I don't require a
cloud blue sky for a picnic.

00:01:43.470 --> 00:01:45.990 align:middle line:84%
For you, I'm the
kind of person who

00:01:45.990 --> 00:01:49.710 align:middle line:84%
sees the clouds as
adding drama along

00:01:49.710 --> 00:01:53.010 align:middle line:84%
with the volleyball game
now starting up a few yards

00:01:53.010 --> 00:01:54.630 align:middle line:90%
from my blanket.

00:01:54.630 --> 00:01:57.570 align:middle line:84%
If I stay to the end,
I'll be doing it,

00:01:57.570 --> 00:02:02.370 align:middle line:84%
you'd like to believe, not to
postpone the hour of going home

00:02:02.370 --> 00:02:05.970 align:middle line:84%
as you would if you were
me, but because the sight

00:02:05.970 --> 00:02:08.699 align:middle line:84%
of the players
enjoying themselves

00:02:08.699 --> 00:02:13.140 align:middle line:84%
gives me a pleasure
more ample and lasting

00:02:13.140 --> 00:02:17.630 align:middle line:84%
than any the sight
would stir in you."
