Sabinal
I left Sabinal years ago when I was just a child
Was haunted until all my youth was burned
Still, I got away but only yesterday
I realised that somehow I'd returned
A boat is in the distance but too far away to catch
I only love the sea when I'm ashore
How much of that is me? How much just memories
Of something someone told me long ago?
Do I leave as a criminal or do I stay as a coward?
Winter always plays with me it ties me to the ground
Then cuts me loose and throws me to the sky
I suddenly unwind, reveal another side
And say everything I was was just a lie
Do I leave as a criminal or do I stay as a coward?
And the longer that I stay the harder it will be to leave
It looks as if there is no odyssey
But maybe this is it, then surely I must quit
The lotus plant that holds me, tenderly
The lotus plant that keeps me, quietly
Was haunted until all my youth was burned
Still, I got away but only yesterday
I realised that somehow I'd returned
A boat is in the distance but too far away to catch
I only love the sea when I'm ashore
How much of that is me? How much just memories
Of something someone told me long ago?
Do I leave as a criminal or do I stay as a coward?
Winter always plays with me it ties me to the ground
Then cuts me loose and throws me to the sky
I suddenly unwind, reveal another side
And say everything I was was just a lie
Do I leave as a criminal or do I stay as a coward?
And the longer that I stay the harder it will be to leave
It looks as if there is no odyssey
But maybe this is it, then surely I must quit
The lotus plant that holds me, tenderly
The lotus plant that keeps me, quietly
