The year has passed like a snake on a lawnYou could reach for its tail and in a moment it's goneOut from the shadows a dream opens wideLike a light from a star that already has diedThe woman held her daughters' hands (a lucky penny in the well)And sang them songs of distant lands (the ocean in this hollow shell)The pram cut loose away it floatsTheir song will never reach these boatsFor eighteen years I have studied the wayBut I see no more clear and my hair is still greyIf someone asked me just what I have foundI would point to the heaven, I'd point to the groundThe moonbeams dancing on the lake (the snow fell silent soft and white)I've heard their sound it's yours to take (a halo 'round the amber light)The pram cut loose away it floatsTheir song will never reach these boatsI sat upon the master's chair to waitCaught in the midnight sky,The moon would silver everything:Head up, eyes straightThe lamplight burning, the staircase is steepLetras de cancionesAnd the children are noisy so no one can sleepThe wind is rising, a train whistle moansI am clapping my hands and I'm coming back homeOne room, one bed, one jar, one bowl (the starlings perched along a wire)There's not a single house I know (the poachers huddled 'round the fire)The pram cut loose away it floatsTheir song will never reach these boatsThe grand dream palace as the hour grew lateCaught in the midnight sky, the moon would silver everything:Head up eyes straight (a lonely wife lets you get away)Head up eyes straight (and things won't always be this way)Head up eyes straight (if you don't like it we won't stay)Head up From Letras Mania
