Garden and Ivy
Journey of Reflection: Harbor Day's Garden and Ivy
Lyrics
I held my tongue
I refrained from speaking
On Garden and Ivy
Referring to places named Garden and Ivy
Stare at the coastline
Gazing at the shoreline
And try not to sightsee
Trying not to be a tourist
They say darling don't
Advice not to long for familiar comforts
Hunger for the comforts you hold dear
Caution against craving what is cherished
Wipe off the saline
Wiping away tears
And remember all they gave you here
Recalling all the support received in this place
I'll miss the days
Expressing a sentiment of missing past days
My path we're familiar
Feeling comfortable and acquainted with the path
Auburn and evergreen
Referring to colors, symbolizing nature
My footsteps delivered
One's own actions leading to a destination
My heart surrenders to the streets I don't know contents of
Surrendering emotionally to unfamiliar streets
Home's not a place, it's a certain way you fell in love
Defining home as a feeling, not a location
I held my tongue on Ivy and Garden
Repeating the act of holding back words on Ivy and Garden
"Goodbye"'s a prisoner and my lips are the warden
Describing goodbyes as restrictive, with one's own lips controlling
I know I'll never be alone when I depart someday
Acknowledging that departure doesn't mean being alone
Whoever designed this made sure it's so vivid we would stay
Reflecting on the vivid design of connections that make staying inevitable
