The Other End (Of the Telescope)
Shall we agree that just this onceI`m gonna change my lifeUntil it`s just as tiny or important as you like?And in time we won`t even recall that we spokeWords that turned out to be as big as smokeAs smoke that disappears in the airThere`s always something that`s smoldering somewhereI know it don`t make a difference to youBut oh! It sure made a difference to meYou`ll see me off in the distance, I hopeAt the other endAt the other end of the telescope.The promise of indulgence in my confidential voiceApproached immortal danger but you`ll never know how closeThen down the hall I overheard such a heavenly choirThey interrupted my evil designsOne day you are up in the clouds The next thing you`re down with the Sweet Adelines[Chorus]Lie down baby now don`t say a wordThere there baby your vision is blurredYour head is so sore from all of that thinkingLetras de cancionesI don`t want to hurt you nowBut I think you`re shrinkingYou`re half-naked ambition and you`re half out of your witsOr several tiny fractions that this portrait still omitsAnd it`s so hard to pick the receiver up when I callI never noticed you could be so smallThe answer was under your nose but the question never aroseI know it don`t make a difference to youBut oh! It sure made a difference to me`Cause late in the evening as I sit here mopingWith a bamboo needle on a shellac of ChopinAnd the cast-iron heart that you failed to tear openAt the other endAt the other end of the telescope From Letras Mania
