Sleeper - Big Sur lyrics

rate me

i would like to say that i think “one day,

we will meet again, and things will be the same”

but it’s this life we live, so will you please forgive

my lack of faith, if i’m wrong go on and say so

we were all filled up with a youthful pride

and we took the ocean with us

but most get swallowed up in the tide

they say it’s all in our best interest

when i lose sight i will return to see the redwoods in big sur

and have my vision restored

sometimes things only rearrange

when we thing they have changed

are those who die just those reborn, or is it something more?

all that golden hair

you left yours everywhere

that’s what reminds me, but what reminds you?

don’t forget why you’re here

it’s just a name my dear

we were all filled up with a youthful glow

and we took the winter with us

but most end up buried under the snow

i pray our youthful glows will warm us

when i grow old i will return to wash my body down the creek

and have my soul reborn

come home
