Lyrics
Remember Me
Lay me down on a bed of logs and tinder
Set the spark and sail me to the sea
While you watch the distant ember
I hope you will remember me
I'm looking for a place to rest my head
A soft pine needle bed in this forest
Find the path that leads me to the fields
Show me something real - I think I'm lost
In this world of misty dreams
I don't know what this means
I can almost hear the sound of children singing
The distant church bells ringing once more
I'm longing for the hand of a companion
The memory of my family waving from the door
In this world of misty dreams
I don't know what this means
Take me away, away, away from this confusion ... this illusion
Take me away, away, away from this division ... indecision
Take me away from the unfamiliar sounds
Those that make their rounds now and then
Give me back the clarity I'm after
The precious gift of laughter once again
In this world of misty dreams
I don't know what this means
Take me away, take me away from this confusion ... this illusion
Take me away, take me away from this division ... indecision ...
Lay me down on a bed of logs and tinder
Set the spark and sail me to the sea
While you watch the distant ember
I hope you will remember ... remember me ... remember me ... remember me
