They sail away to the other side of ocean
And we will never see them again
We will Never see them again
Springs and autumns
How could we count them
We could never count them
So many streets in big cities
We have
Gold and diamonds
And war machines
We have history we have our own
Shadows we know songs and
We've read books
Countless
Countless and numberless
They
Left us sailed away across the ocean
The longing
Is strong
Stronger than the tides
Stronger than the ways
Of our sun
We have troubles
We have joys
We have
Human history
With it they left us
How can we reach
How we need to fall to reach
Beyond

I've been scarred by the rage
Of the sweet soft sun
And you turn the other cheek
In your sleep
And I'm gone
I am easy to forget
My face - a blank white page
My touch - the dust
The wind dances with
My face - a blank white page
I am easy to forget
And I've smelled the sweet scent of sharp sharp knives
And I would
Curse my wanderings
If i were not
Scared
Of what may become

At least I told you truthfully
How it was
The seasons
They don't do it
Any more
Spring . . . I've faked its ecstasy
Sometimes
To remember
How it was
Spring has always been
The worst of them all
And summer
It is torture
For anyone
Not
Warm to the bones
Fall
I don't notice
At all
And winter
It is always
Anyway
At least
I told you truthfully how it was
I don't go out
Of the dark
Any more

two lost

Two children
Broken and lost
Afraid
Fingers frozen
With fear but eyes open
Mouths open
To light
Two lost children
I found you
Did you not find
Me?
|

yes.

We have all to live for
We have the silence to use
As compassion
We have the voice
When silence is murder
We have all to live for
Don't we have air
And don't we have lungs that know breathing
And even when there is less air
Each day
And even if the lungs are less with each day
All the more
All the more
We have that to live for
