Some may need some change
Some may need some time
Some may change their clothes
Some may change on the inside
Win a fight one day
And the next day lose your pride
You can think about Amsterdam
Or your favorite city
You can think about the sun
I'll think about sleep
All the best we can
Never forget the fun we had
In the coldest, darkest times
That seem so bright to me
To extinguish a flame
Get ready Get Ready
For a new life
that's already there
Here for us together
To Amber: let it rain
through the days (of war and peace)
Many times of thinking (contemplation)
That you might ever see
Will it last forever?
when I forget my memory
On a train to somewhere new
My favorite city
that I cannot name
And I can't complain
Or Explain it all in a short time
Say it all in a short line
I'm done wearing this hat
And jacket that no longer fit
On my arms that reach for the stars
When I'm not chasing shadows in the dark
And the train came back to take me home!
