With dark red berries on the branches
I'm further than you think
Next to station platform people
We're all waiting for a train
Sometimes not even I can tell you
I'm nearer than you know
Behind your eyes a burning memory
Let the fears of broken pieces go
I fill my bag with clouds and rivers
Emptied the castle of the crows
I left the sand and sea forever
To be exactly here now
Did I do the right thing
It's in and out of time you move me
I'm scattered all around
I was in a light and then you threw me
Like a shadow to the ground
Sometimes not even I can tell you
I'm nearer than you know
Behind your eyes a burning memory
Let the tears of broken pieces go
I fill my bag with clouds and rivers
Emptied the castle of the crows
I left the sand and sea forever
To be exactly here now
Did I do the right thing
I'd forever talk to you but soon my words
Would turn into a meaningless ring
And deep in my heart I know there's
No help I can bring
But everything passes everything changes
Just do what you think you should do
And someday maybe who knows baby
I'll come and be crying to you
