Cables and Woods

There was a time I used to stop breathing
There was a time the Sun covered my white skin
There was a time, there was a time
Now that I've sailed the North seas
I could just die, right now, in peace
But before it, someone asked me if I'm in love
But before it, someone asked me if I'm in love
I always end up surrounded by cables
Why, if I always wanted to live by the woods
Why, if I always wanted to live by the woods
To live by the woods
Why sailing, why woods
Why cables, why did I love you?

Feathers
03:08
|

Trying to cross the ocean without gills or sails
let's switch our senses off and float, even without wings
We are feathers in a summer storm
we are feathers so let's get lost
we are just feathers inside a seaquake
So we are just little feathers of little birds who tried to fly over a seaquake
we'll never be stones, so we'll try to swim across the waves
We are feathers in a summer storm
we are feathers so let's get lost
we are just feathers inside a seaquake
Before leaves fall down
before all those lighthouses die
before the long winter comes
Let's get lost....
inside our blankets

Castles
02:52

A tall, dark, elegant man goes on stage
Fresh air moving all the clouds
Straight views and shy words a little bit high
for that voice that no one ever knew
for that voice that no one has ever heard oh
After the show, he drags his legs to the guitar case
a bad actress shouts out loud, pretending she's drunk
Straight views and shy words, the only make me be scared
I runaway to my double-decker bed
I runaway to my just-for-one-night bed
Tonight is already tomorrow, so yesterday it'll be all gone
Tonight is already tomorrow, so yesterday it'll be all gone
Tonight is already tomorrow
Tonight is already tomorrow

Always Late

She's in love with nature and I just look at the trees from downtown
She's in love with nature and I just look at the trees from downtown
She smiles as I think of writing this song, my mind is not here, it's in my words
She smiles as I think of writing this song, my mind is not here, it's in my thoughts
I'm selfish, she's a lucky girl
I'm selfish, she's a lucky girl
Drink my favorite wine, it's all yours, you've already had what I wanted most
Go to my favorite resto, you've already eaten what I felt like most
I'm back, but I'm always late
I'm back, but I'm always late

Mockingbirds
02:13
|

|
He took me to the woods
he showed me strange lights
and colors I'd never seen before
We crossed a frozen river
we saw the highest waterfall
we stopped to hear the mockingbirds
Then we drove to the coast
were the giant waves shouted
while crashing hard on the rocks
And I've never felt so warm before
I'm protected from the cold by his soul
We went back to the house
we just spent our time
listening to the rain and making love
Our hearts mixed with the fire
playing non existent chords
sculpting bodies with noble stones
And I've never felt so warm before
I'm protected from the cold by his soul
And I've never felt so warm before
I'm protected from the cold with by soul
And I've never felt so blind before
Now I see everything so clear
He took me to the woods
he showed me strange lights
and colors I'd never seen before

I saw you some years ago
You sounded like an angel in a bottle of wine
Now you seem younger and free
Or maybe I'm older, maybe it's just me
Oh, maybe it's just me
Oh, maybe it's just me
You used to talk about
home, snow and babies smiles
Like I used to write about
Lost loves, lost trains and no hope
Now I'm so loved
Oh, now I'm so loved
Now the two of us are so loved
We need to prove to ourselves
We still know how to play
We still know how to sing
We still want to show it to the world
With more or less noise
With more or less chords
With more or less stages
With more or less words

Swallow and Fish
03:21
|

|
I was born to fly
I was born to swim
so where do I go with my feet?
what can I do to be a fish?
I don't want to see swallows
leaving without me
I've seen you born, I've seen you flying
I've seen you for the first time
Now my home remains in silence
like in design magazines
and in my neighborhood
there's a pool, but no fish, only people, lots of people
Moving, swimming, just to get tired
Moving, swimming, just to get tired
And I want to swim, just swim
And I want to fly just for the sake of it
And I want to love, just love
And I want to dance just for the sake of it

I water my plants when I hear you on the phone
They have learnt to love your presence
The shapes of the trees through the buildings
I would jump into the deep of their vanishing point
Give a shape to words, they will mean something better
Maybe they don't understand them but I do
All that skin is for me after midnight not before
All your soft hair,there for me to stroke
Your painted hands they are there for being held
And oh, your hips, an apple of sins
Give a shape to words, they will mean something better
Maybe they don't understand them but I do
But I do

Old Photographs
02:29
|
|||
|
I've lost all the things I knew
I wonder if they're hidden or just gone
All that I felt all these years, all this time
are dug so deep in the big dark woods
Old photographs in the middle of a lake
Should I swim to get them back
and keep them in my head?
And what do I believe in?
If roots have stubbed my heart for good
Maybe if I fall asleep in the land of forgiveness
The whole winter till the warm comes back
Old photographs in the middle of a lake
Should I swim to get them back
and keep them in my head?
All my beloved heartbeats in the middle of a lake
Should I swim to feel them back
and keep them in my chest?

That very first night It all came back to me
I was thinking about another song
A song that I recorded, a song that I've played
More than a hundred times
When I thought my open chords would never change
When I thought my open chords would never change
Long time ago this skyscraper was not here
To tell us how innocent we were
In the same square, at the same time
The three of us converged again
Once we thought our naked words would never change
But time, oh time! It covered us
Now we pretend our words are still naked
But we know we should only shake hands
Forget about holding me again
Farewell, farewell
