The Silver Stairs of Ketchikan - Quilt

Wake up early just to know that I am still in bed

Architecture’s turning over, town is painted red

And if I’m there

I’m walking backwards

Time and time again

I remember falling forwards

Not back into bed

Let the asphalt path continue

So it’s words come clear

Turning of our simple distance

To those ending near

For whom it tides I’m tending here

Where it could begin

For whom it tides I’m tending here

Time and time again

We forget what we are at the right time, every time
