lyrics
My mind is a blackboard
my mind is what?
Did I just tell you?
Did I already tell you
my mind is a blackboard?
Time is a duster
old traces remain
memories mingle
the future, the past
Like sunrise from nightfall
or dew in the sunrays
The river to the delta
or a bird to the sky
the sand from a clutched hand
the frog from a tadpole
the oak to an acorn
the hands of a clock
Erase
revert
revert
now I feel like receding
I'm back on my old steps
a raindrop from a sunray
a coin from a well
I hold my father's big hand
My mother is smiling
The world is in Ekhtachrome
The paper from a dustbin
a line from the eraser
a leaf back on a treetop
a balloon from the sky
my favorite toy car
Back from the stairwell
the man that I used to be
the kid that I am
Erase!
forget
Erase
I'm not gone, dissolved in smoke
I am the acorn from the oak
I'm not hurt, see, I don't bleed
I was tree and now I'm seed
my mind is what?
Did I just tell you?
Did I already tell you
my mind is a blackboard?
Time is a duster
old traces remain
memories mingle
the future, the past
Like sunrise from nightfall
or dew in the sunrays
The river to the delta
or a bird to the sky
the sand from a clutched hand
the frog from a tadpole
the oak to an acorn
the hands of a clock
Erase
revert
revert
now I feel like receding
I'm back on my old steps
a raindrop from a sunray
a coin from a well
I hold my father's big hand
My mother is smiling
The world is in Ekhtachrome
The paper from a dustbin
a line from the eraser
a leaf back on a treetop
a balloon from the sky
my favorite toy car
Back from the stairwell
the man that I used to be
the kid that I am
Erase!
forget
Erase
I'm not gone, dissolved in smoke
I am the acorn from the oak
I'm not hurt, see, I don't bleed
I was tree and now I'm seed
