did i do the right thing

with dark red berries on the branches
i'm further than you think
next to station platform people
we're all waiting for a train
sometimes not even i can tell you
i'm nearer than you know
behind your eyes a burning memory
let the fears of broken pieces go

i fill my bag with clouds and rivers
emptied the castle of the crows
i left the sand and sea forever
to be exactly here now
did i do the right thing

it's in and out of time you move me
i'm scattered all around
i was in a light and then you threw me
like a shadow to the ground
sometimes not even i can tell you
i'm nearer than you know
behind your eyes a burning memory
let the tears of broken pieces go

i fill my bag with clouds and rivers
emptied the castle of the crows
i left the sand and sea forever
to be exactly here now
did i do the right thing

i'd forever talk to you but soon my words
would turn into a meaningless ring
and deep in my heart I know there's
no help i can bring
but everything passes everything changes
just do what you think you should do
and someday maybe who knows baby
i'll come and be crying to you
