|
My mother was faded to a ghost in disguise |
|
as the sun set under the sky |
|
my father was already gone |
|
he left me entombed in my mothers eyes |
|
follow the feathers of the wisp |
|
that left you nowhere to be found |
|
come to life on the wings of relief |
|
face the tide for what lies underneath |
|
retrace the footsteps of the ones who |
|
took you half dead on the ground |
|
with feathers of a different color |
|
they took me as one of their own |
|
and we sang our songs of success and failures |
|
and compared them just to find out that we're not alone |
|
I'm not a perfect man |
|
I've made mistake but I'm willing to try |
|
to find forgiveness in the eyes |
|
of those I once held close to my heart |
|
follow the feathers of the wisp |
|
that left you nowhere to be found |
|
retrace the footsteps of the ones who |
|
took you half dead on the ground |
|
praise the guardians who carried |
|
you home through the dark |
|
and leave behind what tried |
|
to tear this family apart |
|
with feathers of a different color |
|
they took me as one of their own |
|
and we sang our songs of success and failures |
|
and compared them just to find out that we're not alone |
|
I'm not a perfect man |
|
I've made mistake but I'm willing to try |
|
to find forgiveness in the eyes |
|
of those I once held close to my heart |
|
as she lies, she's talking in her sleep |
|
the ashes are one with the ocean now |
|
the wind carried them as far as they could go |
|
but I will remember you forever |
|
through the years of the sand and the snow |
|
and your colors have faded to grey |
|
and they're harder to see through the smoke |
|
my colors have faded away |
|
as did my memories of you |
|
come to life on the wings of relief |
|
face the tide for what lies underneath |
|
as they rise, let the water recede |
|
close your eyes, and let me wash out to sea |
