Texty: Devendra Banhart. Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon. I Remember.

I remember a faraway laugh
a sweet caress
you'd help me zip up my dress

And I remember your arms around my neck
twenty one shells wrapped in a nest
endlessness
didn't last

I won't change
given
the chance

I remember no place for me to hide
before you came home at night

I remember you turnin out the lights
all i ever saw was the red in your eyes

no big surprise
happened nearly every night
your own flesh & blood
I did wonder why...

I remember not knowing what to say
and how calm you had remained
your child still born with no name
I remember the never ending summer rain
___
please don't let
what was
get in the way of
what's next

don't forget
that what's to come
hasn't come yet
