From the recording La Luz
Similar to the song "This Difficult Time",
I wrote this song at a moment in which I was reading a lot of poetry, like that of Rilke, Neruda and others. The lyrics of the verses in parts D and F are English translations from the originals in Spanish from some poems by Pablo Neruda. Thanks compaƱero.
Lyrics
Mistakes
Learning from my own mistakes
This is when it's time to
I've been feeling really sad
Didn't want to drag you
I know something is not right,
Immobilized of some sort
Maybe was my fear to fail
What it made me blind to see
All what you are
This God-damn haze that
Covers my mind
My intention never was
To hurt you or attack you
Never wanted make you cry
Make you feel you're confined to
Live a life that does't give you
What you really want to
On my end I feel like crap
Almost I've been wanting to die
To stop the pain
To free my mind
Maybe I find peace
I've been crying inside
You've been laughing out
Or have you been crying inside
Well, I haven't laughed
Like in all this griefy stories
Love always ends victorious
Side to side your eyes widen
And your smile goes east and west
Where did your body come from?
Eastern Europe, rained washed rituals?
Your mouth brought back ancient fountains
Dark wet drums, I heard them calling
After we die
We'll be close again
Curious and puzzled
The dry feet of death
Our different feathers
Our printed kisses
All will be back,
Back together
So ironic how you seem
Not to be the same one
Different friends and different clothes
No more of our long nights
No more of our talking of
Future, kids and family
Though you're trying to bury deep
The love you feel for me I still see
That turquoise thread
That ray of light that
Connects our hearts
I've been crying inside
You've been laughing out
Or have you been crying inside
Cose' I haven't laughed
Here I leave you what I had
And all things that I did't
All I am, all I'm not
All our dreams and all our chats
My love is like a child crying
Reluctant to leave your arms
I just wanted to be your wind
Your rain, your sun, and your fire
I touch my blood,
My fury in your mouth
What else can leave you
When you already
Have in your touch
The scent of the west sea
The fragrance of the green
Wet redwood forest
Now the stars are really far
Come to bed, is getting late
We have work to do
To procreate, to live our fate
Now the stars are really far
Come to bed, is getting late
Spread your beauty on me
We are young just for now
We are young just for now
We are young just for now
