lyrics

On Midsummer Eve staying pretty sober
Next day on the ferry back to see you.
Packing light just a couple of days away
The engine of the boat hums.
Starting fresh, a clean new slate
Bank holiday. Commemorate that summer is here.

Used to say I did portraits.
Years of wind and water have worn the stones down.
There’s not much left, they kind a look like a clenched fist in mid air.
I stood and stared. No one really cared or said anything.
Starting fresh. A little break. Note to self: Commemorate that life is worth living.

You could do much better if you could ignore your head.
It goes for walks alone, and leaves you on some bench.
Do garden work. Help out some with a boring chore.
Give my brother a call. Await the fall.
Starting fresh. No angst in heads. New address.
Commemorate that you are my woman.
Celebrate that we are together after all.
There’s more to say, let’s forget about it, no?

The date rape drug, drink spiking, some thing I happened to hear by chance.
Society makes me depressed.
Some dirty motherfucker wants to have it all for himself. Without a consequence.
Starting fresh. Sold out myself. No better half.
Commemorate that light can bend around a wall

A journey north, through burned downed forests. Ash and tree stumps, black and brown wood piles.
“I was born next to a road”, you said twice, but I didn’t catch you the first time.
And you hate repeating yourself.
Starting fresh. Made no success
Commemorate that it’s worth a chance after all.

It’s very annoying, like a kid arching back.
Sought restitution, found nothing.
A big gray mass you gotta get through. No clues of colour near.
Brought you too tears.
Cause you know I’m starting fresh. Words can help, with your expectations.
Commemorate that some time has passed
Celebrate something.
