[00:00.000]Andromeda - Heather Styka
[00:15.754]When I was very young
[00:19.179]My parents bought a lake
[00:22.068]It was more of a marshy pond in the middle of nowhere
[00:29.169]But it was our pond each year we returned in summer
[00:35.665]When Tyler's ice cream shop reopened in town
[00:44.158]Now Tyler's closed his doors and retired to Florida
[00:50.920]I'm at the water's edge at the end of October
[00:58.101]It seems wilder now
[01:01.071]With the trees all barren branching out
[01:04.365]Like dark nets into a cold blue sky
[01:26.614]The water is so calm
[01:30.237]Everything's reflected
[01:33.471]Reflecting all the years that have passed by
[01:40.679]I used to sit on this pier and look into the depths
[01:46.788]Like it was a crystal ball
[01:50.066]That could show me destiny
[01:53.563]Our rowboat was a raft
[01:56.938]All patched and filled with air
[02:00.384]I preferred to stay back on the shore
[02:06.843]Each sunken log meant danger and it always made me nervous
[02:13.655]To let anyone else control the oars
[02:35.506]At night the pier was where I learned my first constellation
[02:42.345]Andromeda was the galaxy closest to our own
[02:49.777]Perseus' prize Cassiopeia's daughter
[02:55.561]She must have wondered too
[02:58.953]What her fate was on her own
[03:17.761]I've never seen the lake
[03:21.014]This calm so settled
[03:24.707]Comparing it to glass
[03:27.847]Couldn't begin to describe
[03:31.222]But a knowledge in me waits
[03:34.506]And reminds me that those depths
[03:38.607]Are murky as ever
[03:42.879]Churning deep inside
