lyrics

Like a name that disappears
On a boat that never leaves
Like a leave that always shows
On a tree that never grows

Leave a shadow on the ground
Even though you're not around
I see...

Like a stone that's never clean
Someone throw me in a stream
I'll move a little every day
But I won't ever fade away

I'm getting older looking over my shoulder
Gonna get right back and dip my toe in the water
And I'll watch myself ripple over and over
As I circle round and drift over and over you…
