Sea Of Memory

If only we remembered

as much as we forget...

The pasts a foreign country

we cant go back to yet.

we want down in the valley

and till the soil by hand

feeling he weight of water

built up behind the dam.

Left and right, up and down, head over heels

that's the only way that we know

down and up, right and left, over and over

tumbling on with the flow

through time our ghost are swimming

like schools of angel fish

we have no way of feeling

the flow of water under the bridge

were working in the fields

were making tracks

all of our histories stacked behind our backs

high up above us now

the dam wall cracks

here comes everything we've been

in the flood of memory

if only we remembered

as much as we forget

in only we could see that

what we give is what we get

here comes the flooding water

to wash us to the sea

of memory.

on and on

the water flows

on and on

it goes

one by one

well all find our own way home

we want down in the valley

and till the soil by hand

we feel the weight of water

that's building up behind the dam

and

up and down, left and right, head or heels

we go

down and up right and left, slippery eels

if only we remembered

as much as we forget

in only we could see

what we give is what we get

here comes the flooding water

to wash us to the sea

(of) memory.
