I never wanted any childrenJust a nice apartment with open airAnd big windows, and all the flowersAnd I could only ever see myself thereYeah, I guess I was too hard for my own goodAnd then my friends began to fall in loveFirst with themselves and then with each otherI met my despair at midday lightAnd it was amazing, and I almost criedNothing that comes and goes is youBut you can compensate for love's sakeAnd say yes, and make something together, something newIn times of roses who amaze our now and hereAnd friends in dresses, interference fitsA thousand little ceremonies, we admitWe dress up to confront the coming yearThere's something present that wasn't beforeWe fade into the background, manOf filtered light where and when we canAnd live out a thousand weird livesIn conversations of churches and veils and wivesAnd it makes me strong and unsinkableLetras de cancionesIt makes me sick, it makes the water undrinkableIt feels like singing badly in the clearSince we began to dress to meet the yearWhen did we all decide to give up?Since when do we say yes to love?He broke in and he'll take what he canIt burns like a curse and it fits on my handA cluster of opals and diamonds and scenesPay you a penny and stay where I standTrading the diamonds for some golden bandGod, what am I doing with somebody's sonIn the same way a bulldozer studies an orchidYes, I am a student of the teachings of loveIn the same way that shame changes love as we know itLike your body moves into mine and outgrows itAnd splits me from mouth down to thigh like a gunWhat am I doing with somebody's sonWe knew better, we knew we would breakWe gave it until we gave up and we knowThat we compensate for love's sakeNow we say yesAnd so — From Letras Mania
