Chairs

And the chairs were silently moving through the room
Low voices chattered
And the eyes were reading the words
Page upon page of books older than them
Even the wood of the tables could tell a thousand more stories
More stories than them all gathered together
No need for words they said
With every silence
With every unspoken word
It was all understood
And we thought we were strong
That we could endure it all
And make it through
Then we could change the world
So wrong we were
So wrong we are
And the chairs still silently moving across the room

Soy

soy como una lágrima perdida en el mar
nadie sabe donde estoy
si con tu boca no pruebas mi sabor
hoy no quiero ser
porque ayer me desperté
en un mundo que estaba del revés
tu ya no eras tu
y yo ya no era yo
dos extraños y una taza de café
eras el silencio en una calle abandonada
yo era como el hielo perdido en la montaña
nadie sabe donde estamos
si nuestras voces se quedan sin palabras
tengo tanto que decir
pero nada que explicar
soy las palabras en el diario
que terminan en el fuego
para calentar tus manos
hoy no quiero ser
porque mañana aún estaré
en un mundo que sigue del revés
tu no serás tu
yo no seré yo
dos nombres sin rostros
caminando entre la gente

To see you

I wanna see you
hiding behind trees
the wind slowly pacing
while you whisper your sweet words
and I wait for them to reach me
while I wait in the rain
I wanna see you
coming towards me
while I'm holding my breath
and your hand holds my hand
I wanna see you
so close
so I can kiss you

Colors

I'm all shades of gray
The colors are gone
They've faded away
No feelings left
Nothing left
But gray, gray, gray...

Clocks

I could sleep the whole day
And I wouldn't mind
I could sleep all my life
And I still wouldn't mind
Just sleep it through
This day
I would like to be still for a while
No more pain or joy
I would like not to feel for some time
Not love, not hate
Just me and the days,
the hours, the minutes and seconds
The moments and nothingness
Just me and my heart
Singing to me, in rhythms
Its own pace, my pace
Calmly repeating itself
Me and my dreams,
The thoughts and words in my head
Peacefully playing its tune
To me
I could sleep the whole day today
And the days afer this day
But I would be missing so much
So I'll take a nap
And wake up just in time

For you, for her (wherever she may be)

She was gone a long time ago
Taken away by her disease
It was you who couldn’t let her go
She said goodbye in time
But you think you didn’t say it back
Now she’s left you
In the only way you could truly understand
It’s a lie, she only took what you could see
And left what cannot die
She is free again, what you remember
She’s again what she once was
Who she was
A woman, a mother’s daughter
Your mother
And a child
She runs faster than the horses
Following the wind
But don’t worry
You will always find her when you’re needy
Needy for her charms, and her comfort
Time to kiss her one last time
Only to remember that you can kiss her any time
How do you cope with the days after today?
How do you cope with the days without her?
Wish I knew
If I knew the method
I would simply give it to you
And I’m always here
And she’ll always be with you
And remember
You can kiss her any time
She will always kiss you back

So good

Hey there stranger / You've been my pastime for a while now / We started out easily /
And so our night just flowed / As we learnt more about / The tale our skins let on / Underneath the moonlight / On a cold winter`s night /
OH Stranger / Are you the one I want / On the other side of my phone line? / Hey Stranger / Am I the one you wanna talk to / When you get home from a long day? / My sweet Stranger / You are the one I think of / When I stare at the clock on the wall / On a long day at work / Oh my Stranger / Do you think of me too? / Coz maybe I like you /
We were caught by the morning /Shared some bitter coffee still in bed / And a SWEET kiss / Sleepy eyes behind a messed up hair / And the words were so perfect / As we said more about / The things that we care for / And the city so still / Underneath the sunlight / On a cool winter's day /
Hey there Stranger / You've been my distraction for some time / And I think it's time now / We both start to remember our NAMES / Coz maybe I like you
