作曲 : Laurie Anderson [Sung verse] I walk accompanied by ghosts I walk accompanied by ghosts My father with his time and eyes His voice life-size He says "Follow me," Follow me And I come sliding Where I've been hiding With the heart of a child Meet me by the lake Meet me by the lake I'll be there I'll be there [Spoken section] We lived by a lake. And in the winter it froze. We skated everywhere. One evening I was coming home from the movies, and I was pushing my little brothers – Craig and Phil – in a stroller. I had decided to take them over to the island, to look at the moon that was just coming up. But as we got close to the island – the ice broke. And the stroller sank into the dark water. And my first thought was: "Mom's gonna kill me!" And I remember the knitted balls on their hats, as they disappeared under the black water. So I ripped off my jacket and jumped into the freezing water and dove down and got Craig – and pulled him up and threw him on the ice. Then I dove down again but I couldn't find the stroller. It'd slipped down the muddy bank, further down under the ice. Then I dove in again. And I finally found the stroller, and Phil was strapped in, and I ripped the strap off and pulled him out and pushed him up onto the ice. Then I ran home. One twin under each arm. Frozen and screaming. I ran in the door and I told my mother what had happened. And she stood there and said: "What a wonderful swimmer you are. And I didn't know you were such a good diver." And when I think of her now I realize – that was the moment I had been trying to remember "Tell the animals," she said. "Tell all the animals." "Is it a pilgrimage? Towards what?"
