I walked along the frozen street
Collecting mail, looking down at my feet
Retreated in before the sun took me
I was knee deep in tragedy and memories
You were ready to go that day
Weed and pills were the only way
You could say what you had to say
About divorce in the world today

I remember the times you cried
Out of your mind and in the sky
You had the world but it slipped away
Nothing left but your house and name
And when we took that escape
Heading north among the birds in flight

You were free
Alone
Waiting for a train that had long since gone by
Your secrets handed over to me
You needed someone to know your legacy

We pulled into that bustling town
Familiar spirits still hanging around
Drunken sailors in a victualling house
We were two jaded souls among the dreary crowd

The sun that day turned to night
Our journey's meaning came to light
Missed calls from people expecting us home
We smiled and laughed looking at our phones
We knew there was something more
Than a schedule and a meaningless chore

We were free
And stoned
Rolling at the fact that someday we'll both die
Our bodies buried under the trees
And the river to carry out our final pleas
We were free
Coming home
Taken by the presence of an unknown soul
A dream is something you can't feel

We got back to our father's place
Disheveled posture and a look of disgrace
And you still had a grin on your face

And that was that
The last
Time
I saw you
True
And real
And alive

We spoke of family that day
About genetics and our DNA
Are we doomed
Are we doomed
Who the hell's to say
