lyrics

Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca
Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca

I can't know what you know
Show me how to go with your flow
Your breeze washes my skin
Your waves surround me within

Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca
Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca

I walk to the edge
I sit in the sun on your bench
I walk to the edge
Leave behind what I forget

Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca
Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca

Fast asleep
Why can't they see
Fast asleep
Awaken me

I walk through the streets
Your silence sustains me
And the birds look so proud
And I don't know quite how

Like the land I'm alone
Cast away all the bad that I've known
Cast away all the bad that I've known
Cast away all the bad that I've known

Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca
Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca

Walk along the promenade
Walk along the empty streets
Walk along the promenade
See the people see the feet

Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca
Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca

And you strip me to the bone
And you teach me to unknow
With a rhythm of your own
I will leave here with my own

Recharge me
Recharge me
Recharge me
Recharge me
(Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca Giudecca)
Recharge me...

Remind Me Tomorrow
by Sharon Van Etten

Well, I was introduced to the song Comeback Kid acoustically on a Tiny Desk concert and it really caught my attention. From there I went to the album version and also liked one or two others. David William
