I thought we could be together for ever
But now I realise it was just an escape,
The sweet dream of today’s sinner
Like the passing taste of a choky grape.
I never realised the rose was sear
That love could be my whipper
And my heart will scream for fear
Of my loneliness going deeper.
The darkness it’s my haven
And I’m a mouse in a cat’s paw
For me there is no heaven
the world is pouring into you
a waterfall
a rush
a once in a lifetime
you drink your usual earl grey
milk, no sugar
under a pile of clouds
you feed your pigeons in squares
and think:
am I too old for this
what shall I wear tonight?
your streets are blushing with joy
like the cheeks of a woman in love
I too am in your blood,
a cocktail of sounds,
I hold a little boy’s hand
and in his eyes,
two blue wide screens,
you slowly open up your robes
and wave
t’was war as we knew it
a thousand fears in a jar
labelled ‘eau de thè’
a cloud blown over our heads by no man's wind
and still turned the world that we knew
and all that you were
your wrist
tossing a thousand pancakes
your lips
blowing a thousand kisses in a row
your nights
holding my silhouette
amongst a thousand faces
I have no more use for this shield
or this sword
whoever gave them to me
can take them back
I hold myself hostage to
a thousand years of peace
el reloj de arena
estrangula el desierto entero
piedra en la arena
arena en la piedra
ambas piedra y arena
lo discontinuo y el insomnio
estrangulados
se deshacen las horas
una a una
se deshacen los instantes
uno a uno
