*****

mi corazon sufre y se llena de enojo
solo una vez se nace, una vez se es un hombre
una vez se ama, pues de una vez por siempre
este es mi destino, vivir segun su antojo

si aun por breve tiempo estuvieras a mi lado
envuelto en mi rebozo, suspenso en mi beso
dejando tu cuidado entre flores olvidado
si aun por un momento estuvieras a mi lado

mi corazon sufre porque el tambien se acaba
suspira por la vida y marcha hacia la nada
su dominio es dudoso, su deber peligroso
sus nervios y su voz y su orbita prestados

[floricanto]

De Cara

llorando
de cara a la pared
se apaga la ciudad

llorando
y no hay màs
muero quizas
adonde estàs?

soñando
de cara a la pared
se quema la ciudad

A La Pared

soñando
sin respirar
te quiero amar
te quiero amar

rezando
de cara a la pared
se hunde la ciudad

rezando
santa maria
santa maria
santa maria

El

he venido al desierto
pa'reirme de tu amor
que el desierto es mas tierno
y la espina besa mejor

he venido a este centro
de la nada pa'gritar
que tu nunca mereciste
lo que tanto quise dar

Desierto

he venido yo corriendo
olvidandome de ti
dame un beso pajarillo
note asustes colibri

he venido encendida
al desierto pa quemar
porque el alma prende fuedo

cuando deja de amar

Con Toda

con toda palabra
con toda sonrisa
con toda mirada
con toda caricia

me acerco al agua
bebiendo tu beso
la luz de tu cara
la luz de tu cuerpo

es ruego el quererte
es canto de mudo
mirada de ciego
secreto desnudo

me entrego a tus brazos
con miedo y con calma
y un ruego en la boca
y un ruego en el alma

Palabra

con toda palabra
con toda sonrisa
con toda mirada
con toda caricia

me acerco al fuego
que todo lo quema
la luz de tu cara
la luz de tu cuerpo

es ruego el quererte
es canto de mudo
mirada de ciego
secreto desnudo

me entrego a tus brazos
con miedo y con calma
y un ruego en la boca
y un ruego en el alma

Small

i made a small small song
made a small small song
i sang it all night long
all through
the wind and rain
until the morning came

this song is my small song
this song is my small song
i sang it all night long
and when
the morning came
i had to start all over again

Song

my song is so so small
my song is so so small
i could get down and crawl
searching from
wall to wall
and never see
anything at all

how could you hate
such a small song?
how could you hate
such a small song?
if i was right
i would be wrong
don't be afraid
it's just a small song

That Leaving Feeling

i got that leaving feeling

and this time it's here to stay

i've been weighing up the pulling

and pushing me away

the path is just so heavy

but it's something that i can't leave

and this future is so certain

it pushes me to my knees

is that your heart talking

or just that befuddled mind?

the people that you love they change

when you leave them behind

but this road that is pulling

is weared down to a thread

and if i don't start climbing pretty soon

it'll be over my head

we all have dreams of leaving

we all want to make a new start

go and pack that little suitcase

with the pieces of our hearts

all those worries and those sorrows

we can just toss them away

buy a coffee and a paper

and go step onto a train

but i've been to long wondering

limping around this town

with everything that is pulling

is pulling me further down

go and make all your excuses

and say all your goodbye's

but take a look in the mirror

it's the hardest one you'll ever find

all those worries and those sorrows

we can just toss them away

go and find a new tomorrow

and forget about your yesterdays

go and pack your ideas

and kiss your kids goodbye

leave the keys on the mail

with the sadness that's in your eyes

maybe tomorrow

today looks like it's bringing rain

and i'll leave everything in order

don't want nothing standing in my way

there're jobs that need attending

and the logs that are waiting to stock

and i'll leave everything in order

don't want nothing gonna hold me back
