Lyrics for "Sketches of Song Ep"

LOVE AGAIN

What is it now
What are you gonna try?
What it is now
Is there a reason why you cry?

Let go what is gone, let pass what is past
Your memories aren’t fading, you still put them to the test
But life is much simpler then, it’s just fear that’s a mess
So hold my hand
And you will
Love again

So is it all?
You don’t believe it’s real
How can it be all?
And no big secrets to reveal?
The wise men of old had no wisdom hid
If you know but one word, well that is all you need
You don’t have to understand, I just want you to believe
So hold my hand
And you will
Love again

What is it now?
As you lay there, I can see
Your smile so proud
And it’s pointed right at me
We’re both the shy ones but we managed to get here
Now our walls they crumble and our distance disappears
Cancel out your plans and move you body near
Now hold my hand
And we will
Love again
And again
And again
And again
We will love
Again.


FORGET THE TEARS

There's something I wanna tell you
There's something you ought to know
I need your arms around me
Like they were before
All the time we lost
feelings left astray
'though I love you now
and will forever more
'though I love you now
and will forever more

I know I've let you down
Couldn't show my love
I was scared of telling you
Were all I could think of
Then you started acting strange
And it hurt me so when you said
That I could go my way

let us talk again
and forget the tears
harbour no such feelings
let's pretend we're friends
all the time we lost
fighting over nought
wanna love you now
and forever more
I'm gonna love you now
and forever more


BROKEN WING

Come on
You broken wing
Please come home
Come on over
Come on over
Come on over

All the things we said
The fights we had
Those are over
Those are over
Let’s make our bed

Come on
Please don’t hold
I’lll be waiting
I’ll be waiting
Please come home
I am waiting

Let’s make our bed
And love each other
And love each other
Instead.


OUT THROUGH THE WINDOW

Well we both knew there would be a day
When I’d have to leave and do things my way
Oh well, at least I did

For my back is not that strong
Though you want I cannot be the one
I wish I was but I‘m just not that man

For we believed the dream that we had
And our masks they fit so well,
We played up that part until
Apart we fell

Now I see you out through the window
I can’t really close
And there’s no door into the garden
As there never was
High was the time it was about right
That I should decide to let this go
And let me be in your past

For you must have known that it could not be true
I made too many silent vows to you
It was clear someday you’d find me out

But like a saint you believed all my words
And like a toad I couldn’t keep my mouth shut
And stuck that fantasy to my flesh until it hurt

Now I see you out through the window
I can’t really close
And there’s no door into the garden
As there never was

And all these ideas that run through my head
Are but excuses for things left unsaid
Words of love or forgiving
Please forgive me

Now I see you out through the window I can’t really close…

Lyrics for "And Her Eyes"

Once there was a girl
With the golden hair
And her eyes and her eyes
Were stones and gems of golden days

And her locks and her curls
Were made to match her matchless ways
And her eyes and her eyes
Were so young were so bright
The dark blue complexion of the skies

Reflected the way she moved
The gracious wave of love's soft clouds
Through which the moon lit up her eyes
Her eyes and her eyes and her eyes

Like the lizard fabled queen
Face fromheaven come from sand
Lured into her cave of dreams
I was loved
And I was damned.

By her eyes, by her eyes
Her eyes and her eyes and her eyes

Lyrics for 'Milongueta'

It's a pitty you don't like it here
They say it's the right town for romance
But do what I wouldn't do for you
And give it a second chance

Well it's the city of cities
You go out and find someone to dance
If by the end you still haven't found love
Well you go and
Dance again

I wish I could get you a better deal
I think you deserve more than I had
But then again, it was not for me to give it
You see, I was never
Your man.

Lyrics for 'Vos y Yo (You and I)'

If all my follies were thus
Wouldn’t that have been enough
To redress all my sins?

That which you accuse me of
Is not an error but a fix
To bury the boredom
Of our dreams

You and I
Discouragement
You and I
A task for better men

You and I
You and I
Why must we be so weak

If all my follies were thus
Wouldn’t that have killed at least one of us
Ourselves so naked
Like our bodies put together

That which you congratulate me for
Is a mistake altogether or
The misconception of
What we called love

You and I
You and I

Why must we be so weak
Why must we be so weak
Why must we be so weak
Why must we be

Like you and
Me?

Dos pequenos poemas com futuro (12)

Eu me vesti pra te gostar
Num baile de festa bonita
Que ainda não há
E me disseram que não vai ter.

Mas eu já vi essa dança
De memória, os pares no salão
As moças, com flor no cabelo
Os moços, fazendo de conta
que sabiam o que estavam fazendo.

Era lindo:
Uma tragédia, desencontro do início ao fim,
Mas terminava todo mundo dançando.
E dançando tudo ajeitava.

Eu sonhei de memória, meio assim:
Um, dois
Um dois três
Um, dois
Um dois três
Um, dois ...

Dos pequenos poemas sem futuro (11)

correm os dedos
por tua pélvis
o toque doce
do terremoto

na tua pele
o concreto derrete
e as ruas se curvam
não há mais dobras ou esquinas
só voltas
e voltas
e voltas...

aceleram os lábios
nos caminhos da nuca
as ruas, agora, são ondas
que estouram aos teus pés

e teus pés se atravessam
e teus pés se contorcem
emaranhados
com os meus.

Dos pequenos poemas sem futuro (10)

vi teu corpo pairando no ar
vi teu corpo debaixo do meu
vi teu corpo tremer
vi teu corpo da janela da sala
vi teu corpo de longe
vi teu corpo fundido
com meu corpo que é teu corpo
em um bloco só de mármore negro
