Memories - Huis

I remember you sitting by yourself lost in your thoughts

I remember you giving back occasional smile

Memories conjuring mixed emotions

I remember you singing opera as a joke

I remember you drawing cartoons on a newspaper

Memories conjuring mixed emotions

Back it’s all so superficial since I never really knew you

It’s all so superficial i never really knew you

I was undoubtedly linked to you

But I always felt so disconnected

The good moments were so few

And you were too far to ever be redirected

I remember you coming home some kind of mist in your eyes

I remember you lost in your artificial paradise

Memories conjuring mixed emotions

Back it’s all so superficial since i never really knew you

Just floating on the surface

I never really knew you

I was undoubtedly linked to you

But I always felt so disconnected

The good moments were so few

And you were too far to ever be redirected

I wonder if there was any guilt

For depriving us

Of moments to cherish

Of memories to hold on to

For pushing us away

Now I sometimes wonder how it could have been

Now I look back and understand

The only thing remaining

A father and a son

And forgiveness

Forgiveness

Forgiveness …
