Snail

Sometimes the way home takes so long
Sometimes I get tired and exhausted
As soon as i open the door, i fall assleep
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 in a soft voice it whispers...

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 ice-cream bar
the sun is up high, shining on me
when a small snail comes to me
it 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
now everything is fading away like smoke
with my remaining strength in my last dream
i will forget everything
so i will cross the ocean

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
