Will you say when I'm gone away...

"...'My lover came to me and we'd lay
In rooms unfamiliar but until now'

Will you say to them when I’m gone
'I loved your son for his sturdy arms
We both learned to cradle then live without'

Will you say when I’m gone away
'Your father’s body was judgement day
We both dove and rose to the riverside'

Will you say to me when I’m gone
'Your face has faded but lingers on
Because light strikes a deal with each coming night' "

Each Coming Night- Iron and Wine

Una canción para los amoríos de mi hijo...

Me llena de ilusión pensar en su primer amor...

"That summer fields grew high with foxglove stalks and ivy.
Wild apple blossoms everywhere.
Emerald green like none I have seen apart from dreams that escape me.
There was no girl as warm as you.

How I've learned to please, to doubt myself in need,
you'll never, you'll never know.

That summer fields grew high.
We made garland crowns in hiding, pulled stems of flowers from my hair.
Blue in the stream like none I have seen apart from dreams that escape me.
There was no girl as bold as you.

How I've learned to please, to doubt myself in need,
you'll never, you'll never know.
You'll never know.

Violet serene like none I have seen apart from dreams that escape me.
There was no girl as warm as you.

How I've learned to please, to doubt myself in need.
You'll never, you'll never know.
You'll never know.

That summer fields grew high.
We had wildflower fever. We had to lay down where they grow.
How I've learned to hide, how I've locked inside, you'd be surprised if shown.
But you'll never, you'll never know."

What we were going to be...

We were going to grow old together... Such rare finds we were, you and I...

"She says "wake up, it's no use pretending"
I'll keep stealing, breathing her.
Birds are leaving over autumn's ending
One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open, naked as we came
One will spread our ashes 'round the yard

She says "If I leave before you, darling
Don't you waste me in the ground"
I lay smiling like our sleeping children
One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open, naked as we came
One will spread our ashes round the yard"

Naked As We Came- Iron And Wine

Para un futuro con otra persona...

Because you "came down" and it was all over...

... Y no creo en ningún "God", pero igual está bonita la letra...

"I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images and
When we kiss they're perfectly aligned

And I have to speculate
That God himself did make us into
Corresponding shapes like puzzles pieces
From the clay

True, it may seem like a stretch
But it's thoughts like this
That catch my troubled head
When you're away, when I am missing you to death

When you were out there on the road
For several weeks of shows
And when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now," but we'll stay

I've tried my best to leave
This all on your machine
But the persistent beat
Sounded thin upon listening

That frankly will not fly
You will hear the shrillest highs
And lowest lows with the windows down
When this is guiding you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now," but we'll say... "

Bellas canciones ilusas...

"Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you"

Esto es algo que simplemente no se puede prometer. Punto.

Por qué se me ocurrirá escuchar canciones "culiolas" en este preciso momento de mi vida?

Be strong, get off at the next stop... We'll be rubbing shoulders once again in the sun...

"Go on do what you've got to do.
You've got your dreams I've got mine too.
Be strong get off at the next stop.
Don't worry about a thing.
Keep taking it easy.
This time it's not personal.
The universe will help you now.
To find a place you can breathe.
And do what you've got to do.
Keep taking it easy.
Keep taking it easy.
Come on.
I'll let you borrow my four leaf clover.
Come on.
Take it with you, you can pass it on.
Come on.
You know I'm not the kind to say that it's over.
We'll be rubbing shoulders once again in the sun.
Come on.
Take your dreams, where nobody can find them.
Come on.
You know I won't be happy till you've won.
So come on.
Come on over, borrow my clover.
Is there anything left that you haven't done?
Go on do what you've got to do.
You've got your dreams I've got mine too.
Be strong get off at the next stop.
Don't worry about a thing.
Keep taking it easy."

I had a nightmare that I was a blonde...

"And in each other's shadow
We grew less and less tall
And eventually our theories couldn't explain it all..."

"I remember it well..."

"...The first time that I saw
Your head around the door
'Cause mine stopped working

I remember it well
There was wet in your hair
I was stood in the stair
And time stopped moving

I want you here tonight
I want you here
'Cause I can't believe what I found
I want you here tonight
I want you here
Nothing is taking me down, down, down...

I remember it well
Taxied out of a storm
To watch you perform
And my ships were sailing

I remember it well
I was stood in your line
And your mouth, your mouth, your mouth...

I want you here tonight
I want you here
'Cause I can't believe what I found
I want you here tonight
I want you here
Nothing is taking me down, down, down...

Except you my love. Except you my love..."

And so it is...

Life goes easy on me, most of the time...
