fifteen miles, the signals say, until i reach your heart
stark and grey and taut and pale
no hope for you to let me stay
arrows can’t kill whales
if you stare i breathe tears
good i was left in here
these bad dreams, snares and fears
are not mine for more years
say:
am i dim or bright tonight?
thirty days into your heart
was brought here by a vein
i’ve sent two hares, they ride through your brain
they steal words you won’t say
if you stare i breathe tears
good i was left in here
these bad dreams, snares and fears
are not mine for more years
say:
am i dim or bright tonight?
-----------------------------------
'oscuro o brillante'
quince millas, dicen las señales, hasta que alcance tu corazón
tenso y gris y tieso y pálido
sin esperanzas de que dejes que me quede
las flechas no pueden matar ballenas
si me miras respiro lágrimas
qué bueno que me dejaron aquí
estos malos sueños, trampas y miedos
no son míos por más años
di:
¿soy oscuro o brillante esta noche?
treinta días en tu corazón, me trajo una vena
he enviado dos liebres, corren por tu cerebro
roban cosas que no dirás
si me miras respiro lágrimas
qué bueno que me dejaron aquí
estos malos sueños, trampas y miedos
no son míos por más años
di:
¿soy oscuro o brillante esta noche?
