I Will Remain

Further from my widowed home
Take the road that sets into the sun
Waiting for my skin and bone to return
And see what I've become
Summer has not yet been here
Though my days are long
Take me back to when the night was young
And another song was sung
What of all those pretty tales
The ones that took me to this door?
Is it comfort in the siren's wail
The comfort upon this wooden floor?
Tell you, is it a failure to forget the
Ones you once held dear?
And I try to remember but my
Mind is no longer clear

O-o-o oh Oh Ooh, You've recognized me
(O-o-o oh oh ooh ooh ooh) I followed far
Far from the trees
(O-o-o oh oh ooh) The roots came up
Up to my knees (O-o-o oh oh ooh ooh
Ooh) they twisted 'round
I made no sound, no sound

I wandered 'til my brittle
Bone had succumbed
And pulled me to the stone
Further from the towns you've known I'll
Remain from where I had begun
Stumble before I start I was kicking
All the stones as a child
In the meadow when the storm came through
And I burrowed straight back to you

O-o-o oh Oh Ooh, You've recognized me
(O-o-o oh Oh Ooh Ooh Ooh) , I followed far
Far from the trees
(O-o-o oh Oh Ooh) , The roots came up
Up to my knees (O-o-o oh Oh Ooh Ooh Ooh)
They twisted 'round
I made no sound, no sound
