Remember Lyrics

Then the sky was pink

And the moon was still

And we listened for the sounds

On the top of the hill

Then our bodies were cold

But our ears were tuned

And our voices in their murmurs

Asked each other what they knew

And as it turned out some had a theory

And some, well they had observed

Strangers sharing hearts and tales

Curious and alert

Young ones in their coats and hats

The dog with so many to meet

Older folks who'd come to know

The ground below their feet

We cannot love what we don't know

We cannot fight for what we don't love

So much mystery above us

But to wonder is sometimes enough

Then the sky was blue

And the air was hot

And we exchanged our words of greeting

On the paths that so many had walked

Then the kids they ran

To the place that I crouched

And the three of us we wondered

What it was we had stumbled upon

Lichen in my pockets

Soil between my toes

Bird song in my memory

The smell of salt in my clothes

I take it all home and it makes its bed

So that I can always remember

Even when I seem to forget

We cannot love what we don't know

We cannot fight for what we don't love

So much mystery above us

But to wonder is sometimes enough

We cannot love what we don't know

We cannot fight for what we don't love

So much mystery above us

But to wonder is sometimes enough

When I feel the sea wrapped around my calves

Something unfolds in me

I'm sure is part of this past

And I want to hold the hands of everyone I love

And guide them into the darkness

Let the water tend to their cuts

When I feel the sea wrapped around my calves

Something unfolds in me

I'm sure is part of this past

And I want to hold the hands of everyone I love

And guide them into the darkness

Let the water tend to their cuts

When I feel the sea around my calves

Hold the hands of everyone I love
