There's a place I like to go as of late, it's by the Watergate
Where streams come crashing down in torrents after all these weeks of rain
And faint are the traces of the mazes of the urban spaces
Ten-floor tenement towers that the horizon hazes
Other than that some rusty ships, ghostly glow when daylight tips
Skinny trees and barren fields, into winter sleep the country slips
I go here on quit mornings when uni isn't calling
Staring at the waters and my worries which are swiftly falling
I feel complete here, we often can not see clearly
With a thousand stories stuffed into our ears, leave us confused and weary
Serious and light is the state of mind I find
With the natural sadness of being alive always in sight
I'm expanding into the evening crimson blue
Where on dream bubble bursts while another one comes true
I'm full of gladness, exalted sadness
And my lips are longing for the chance to unravel
I'm happy alone, I'm happy as such
But every cell of my bones yearns for your touch
At every turn there is flux, but I've learned oh so much
And if there's one thing I know it's I prefer to say "us"
Instead of "me" or "you" - life is there to be shared
I wanna bridge separation and heat up this chilly air
I wanna be there, wanna spend the night with you hugging and talking
Once I'm done walking

Chorus (2x):

Cause to me you're caramel you're Marzipan you're blackberries
You're all the good things that reverberate in my reveries
You're sharp night air and the yellow light that glows
To me you're a guitar/ clarinet/ cello that goes

I've been gathering nuts, all summer, all fall
I've been writing in notebooks, been writing on walls
I've been trying to chase clouds but they disseminate between my hands
I've turned around the hourglass for hours, staring at the sand

I've been gathering nuts, all summer, all fall
I've been writing in notebooks, been writing on walls
I've been trying to chase clouds but they disseminate between my hands
I've turned around the hourglass for hours

Chorus (4x)
