Out of the inland
to the dangerous open
Flames throbbing in my veins
they can’t be put asleep
and when I got to see
the offing breaking free, I remembered
that I don’t want to forget
One is looking for their happiness
another for their unhappiness
Neither one is easy
If I could’ve laughed
while saying goodbye
But sometimes a new tomorrow
shuns its yesterday
The statues are afraid
they turn around to see
They return to the harbor
people get their images from stone (?)
How violent is the
excuse of love
and what’s been done in its name
Show how to leave
to be saved, to smile
to leave the soul of the laughing gull
If I could’ve laughed
while saying goodbye
But sometimes a new tomorrow
shuns its yesterday
If you acquiesce for just listening to the ocean
you can’t feel the danger of the ocean with your boat
and in front of you is just the impregnable
I couldn’t make it say
that it wants to come
I won’t give in to grieving
the fact it’ll stay there
If I could’ve laughed
while saying goodbye
But sometimes a new tomorrow
shuns its yesterday
If you acquiesce for just listening to the ocean
you can’t feel the danger of the ocean with your boat
and in front of you is just the impregnable
