Comes and Goes

We come crawling back to a life we’ve never known

Still the idea, it always seems to grow

I remember, or was it just a dream

Making whistles with a needle and apricot seed

And our tears fall heavy upon the earth

Till the stamping and the silence fade away

And it’s further, it’s further, further still

But the prices all add up and who’s to pay?

When I need it, I need it most

When I’m breathing, I’m breathing underwater

It comes and goes

Cause we’re tracing, we’re tracking the paths to freedom

But my footsteps are always one place behind

While you’re pointing at the new day, at the horizon

I’m carrying the weight of yesterday’s pride

And so I need it, I need it most

And I swear, oh yes I swear it’s not a dream

Oh

It comes and goes

So I need it, I need it most

And I’m learning, yes I’m learning how to take

And I feel it, oh I know it

I believe it

And I’m trying, oh I’m trying not to break

It comes and goes
