lyrics

It seems to me
This balcony
Is placed right where it should be
I think
As you walk through some leaves

I look east, i look west
Down the streets I know best,
as you
Appear in the dream.

What a shame,
what a shame
We will leave this old place
Let’s leave a few things ‘fore we do
A few kids,
a few songs
A few more rights than wrongs
Our ashes
In that river green-blue.

When the world drinks us in
It laughs and grows dim
And says “child,
we’ve been waiting for you.”
