I want to go out walking, out where it's just me and the stray cats. And I want to go out walking, until I wear these old shoes to the bone. And I want to go out walking, out past all the flags and the borders, where it's just colors and memories borne aloft on that sad summer breeze.
Remind me who I am again. Oh, remind me who I am.
There's something that I need to see, something coming with the Spring. Limestone with green moss, wet from that warm spring rain. And all those little green hopes, pushing aside the mud. All my little green hopes climb to their absolution in the sun.
Remind me who I am again. Oh, remind me who I am.
And when I know you, I will walk all the way home to you. But I've a feeling that by the time I know where I'm going I will already be dead and gone. So bury me beneath that cedar tree behind your little yellow house. Plant some lilacs over me, and then only you and the crows will know.
Remind me who I am again. Oh, remind me who I am.
I would give it all up for one last breath standing in salt water and sand, for what am I but my size-11 footprints to be washed away with the tide and the wind. And I'll stare at that horizon, where the sky and the sea melt to a nuclear blue. And I'll pray for the strength to close my eyes and accept what I already know to be true.
Remind me who I am again. Oh, remind me who I am.
