Devendra Banhart - I Remember lyrics

I remember a faraway laugh a sweet caress
You'd help me zip up my dress
I remember your arms around my neck
Twenty-one shells wrapped in a nest
Endlessness didn't last
I won't change given the chance

I remember no place for me to hide
Before you came home at night
I remember you turning out the lights
All I ever saw was the red in your eyes
No big surprise happened nearly every night
Your own flesh and blood i did wonder why

I remember not knowing what to say
And how calm you had remained your child
Stillborn with no name
I remember the never ending summer rain ooh
Please don't let what was
Get in the way of what's next
Don't forget that what's to
Come hasn't come yet
