I hope you'll remember And that you don't pull the anchor Too soon I want to picture a familiar face At a far and distant place And I will paint a frame around it and leave it hanging there Waiting and staring Vanishing like the passion of a meaningless fling But we will rise from the ashes Yes we will resurrect again Just give me some pointers Just throw them at me Just show me a place to calm down So i can get some rest and peace I need this now More than I ever did And this went somehow Such a different way It's another act of impatience And I am shoveling through the blackest soil; Open hands And both fists are filled with helplessness And I will nurture our roots And I don't want to see them die I only want to see us grow Steady towards the sky It's such a long-winded path A complex route To our common home A place where I can drown All those demons that took posession of me In this small california town By the sea
