Walking in the countryside

It seems that the winds have stopped

I took down the posters from my wall

Left letters for you all

 

I remember moments of happiness

Endless summer

Acoustic guitars

Being a man made me coarse

When I wanted to be delicate

 

I called up Eugene

Told him I was drowning

I called up Eugene

Told him I was drowning

 

Like a castaway on a warm ocean

Waiting for a purpose to rise

They say it’s not becoming

For a boy my age

 

If you want to know what makes me sad

Well it's hope

The endurance of faith

A battle that lasts a lifetime

A fight that never ends

 

Walking in the countryside

It seems that the winds have stopped

Tell my mother I am sorry

And I loved her
