Snail

Sometimes the way home takes so long
Sometimes I get so tired and exhausted
As soon as I open the door, I fall asleep
And when I wake up, no one is there

When I lay my body in the small bathtub,
A small snail comes to me and whispers in a soft voice

That someday when that day comes,
it will go to the ocean at the end of this harsh world

No one saw it but I will follow the sound of the waves in my memory

I want to go forever

Everyone is in their cars, going somewhere.
I am walking on the street with
a pack of cigarettes and a melting icecream bar

The sun is up high, shining on me
When a small snail comes to me
And greets me and sings for me quietly

That someday when that day comes,
it will go to the ocean at the end of this harsh world

No one saw it but I will follow the sound of the waves in my memory

I want to go forever

I gave up my everything
But now everything is fading away like smoke

With my remaining strengh, in my last dream,
I will cross the ocean so I will forget everything

That someday when that day comes,
it will go to the ocean at the end of this harsh world

No one saw it but I will follow the sound of the waves in my memory

I want to go forever
