Causeway Lyrics

I just wanted you to know that

People like me

Old people

We understand

And as old as I am

I would pick up my cane

And defend you to my last breath

Because I love you

I had the will to make things right

Maybe it's better this way

Just walk away

Time pretends to have no memory

Time will be the one bearing witness

At the causeway

Once there was a man who staked his claim

Preparing for a storm that never came

He sheltered from the rain, but the blue skies remained

In his mind he recognised

He would not be compromised

Criticized or analysed, minimised or patronised

To live with a contradiction

To die by your own convictions

The changing of the hue

A wider field of view

Everything must change and so must you

Disinfected by the light

As the children play

Just wash away

Time pretends to have no enemies

As the space between us grows

Entropy arose

We were children once ourselves

The scarred knees and broken bones

The tokens of adventures gone

The endless feuds on battlefields

Are we so different from those boys

Who ran for miles to turn around and run back home

Have we forgotten who we are

Once there was a man who sailed the sea

He never settled down but he was free

No matter where he roamed he never found a home

In his mind he recognised

He would not be compromised

Criticized or analysed, minimised or patronised

To live with a contradiction

To die by your own convictions

The changing of the hue

A wider field of view

Everything must change and so must you

Find your way to the causeway

I'll wait for you there

Find your way to the causeway

I'll wait for you there

Find your way to the causeway (I have become disengaged)

I'll wait for you there (shifting and drifting out of phase)

Find your way to the causeway (feel I'm slowly disappearing)

I'll wait for you there (fading away becoming history)

Find your way to the causeway (fragments are unweaving)

I'll wait for you there (what remains is still decreasing)

Find your way to the causeway (as the space between us grows)

I'll wait for you there (entropy arose)

Find your way to the causeway (if I could glue myself together)

I'll wait for you there (If I could change then so could you)
