First Sign
Escape from Heartache: A Journey to Forget
Lyrics
The summer came and ended in cascades
The summer concluded with a series of waterfalls.
The dusty gold fell into shadow's shade
The golden dust descended into the darkness.
Watching the swallows sliding on slipstreams
Observing swallows gliding along currents of air.
The church bell across the valley marks out the day solemnly
The distant church bell in the valley solemnly marks the passing day.
At the first sign of trouble
In the face of the initial signs of difficulty or adversity,
I took myself away
I removed myself from the situation.
To a place made for forgetting
To a location specifically designed for forgetting.
I hope I lose you on the way
I wish to lose connection with you along the journey.
That night, my sleep was deep dark deep blue
During that night, my sleep was profound and melancholic.
Felt lust dismantling as all lusts do
The feeling of desire disintegrated, as desires often do.
I thought of ways to speak the truth undressed
I contemplated ways to express the naked truth.
To pull you from your other life out west
To extract you from your life in the western region.
This journey I will make to start anew
I will embark on a journey to commence anew.
Help me, oh let me shake these thoughts of you
Assist me, let me rid myself of these thoughts concerning you.
At the first sign of trouble
Confronted with the initial signs of trouble once again,
I took myself away
I distanced myself from the situation.
To a place made for forgetting
To a place crafted for the purpose of forgetting.
I try to lose you on the way
I strive to sever ties with you along the way.
