Do you remember that childhood summer, when the mornings scented of honey? When feet got wet in the grass and nothing was more important than a moment. I also remember a rainbow, over a field by a megalith, a rowboat sunken in the rushes and a meadow that disappears to fog.
refrain:
You were that boy who had sooty hands full of strawberries
Kittens in a lunch basket, on the way with you to steal apples
I was that girl who had a floral dress and a treasure map
a hoodie and a fistful of seashells, and secrets from head to toe
refrain2:
They remain*
when everything disappears
they remain
Do you ever look back to
the hiding place to that granary?
In the heart of the night, under the starry sky
for a bed made with cotton grass
From there I search for you again
On the way to a kingdom of memories
Where the world is gilded by time
there I build a fortress on the seashore
refrain
refrain2
Where do the secrets belong to now,
what treasure have you found since?
Are you still that, if the spark finds
a place to ignite and burn as fire?
