Originally recorded as Aki Rise (2015)

lyrics

Wake up, dress, sit smelling my bitter coffee
then start burning petrol from our driveway
our bare magnolia almost seems to collapse
as dirty snow piles flatten under my shoes.

Now village lights slowly begin to go out
old hunters drive fast toward their mountain wild
who's gonna run faster, who's gonna survive
who's gonna be first to run away.

Mother don't cry for that
let go my chilly hands
mother don't be afraid
sun shines warm on the northbound lane.

Magnolia still flowers, ice may have melt
though blooms might look paler than they did back then
the poet passed away as the man has survived
yet didn't even take a photograph.

I am coming back but still your young son died
years ago at the end of the northbound lane
I am coming back yet my young dreams still remain
under that dreamt yellow sun of the northbound lane.
