this is where i want to be
not inside, but out to sea
all the scenes are here to stay
just to keep the shame away
all the notes you left behind
are just a look inside your mind
now you know the box is filled
with thoughts and books and apple peels
sail your ships across the sea
and bring your love right back to me
place it in a wooden cup
and hatch a bunch of baby ducks
never fail to set them free
and keep them safe inside of me
all the time that slips away
will come again some other day
