Contos de uma cidade silenciosa

A lonely place…

Caressing the marble and stone,
Love that was special for one,
The waste in the fever I heat,
How I wish you were here with me now.

Body that curls in and dies,
And shares that awful daylight,
Warm like a dog round your feet,
How I wish you were here with me now.

Joy Division

Let it be me…

There may come a time, a time in everyone’s life
Where nothing seems to go your way,
Where nothing seems to turn out right
There may come a time, you just can’t seem to find your place
For every door you open, seems like you get two slammed in your face
That’s when you need someone, someone that you can call.
And when all your faith is gone
Feels like you cant go on
Let it be me
Let it be me
If its a friend that you need
Let it be me
Let it be me

Ray Lamontagne

there’s a light that never goes out

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don’t care
I don’t care, I don’t care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn’t ask

Take me out tonight
Oh take me anywhere, I don’t care
I don’t care, I don’t care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one
No, I haven’t got one

sleep well tonight…

And sleep well tonight,
Tomorrow we fight, would you like it in town?
As the bass drums boom by
We’ll leave this lay-by, this excuse for a town.
Now that everybody knows all about me
I’ve been rumbled, I’ve been sold
Born with plenty but you’re left empty
You can have it all, there’s a hole in the wall
Get some dough out and we’ll show out
But still trouble comes from these pubs and these
clubs
Why can’t they understand, but I’ve got a plan
So take my hand
And sleep well tonight.

I wonder how i got here
My feet are bare so sore
I must have walked for ages
I wish i’d know what for

Children with black eyes
Can’t see through my disguise
I don’t belong here
I don’t know where i’m from

My luck is where I fall
Acceptance! Deliverance!
Who? Who am I fooling?
Tomorrows never come
I am the meat
I am the murder
The eye of the fork
This man must walk
Oh no! Oh no!
I’m just one step, two steps, three steps away
Oh the moon looked down and laughed…
Hey blue moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a love of my own

Acendo mais um cigarro
Invento mil ideais
Só que amanhã sei-o bem
É sempre longe demais
Pela janela mal fechada
Chega a hora do cansaço
Vai-se o tempo desfiando
Em anéis de fumo baço

song to the siren…

I’m as puzzled as a newborn child.
I’m as riddled as the tide.
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or shall I lie with death my bride?
Here me sing: “Swim to me, swim to me,
Let me enfold you.”

Here I am, Here I am, waiting to hold you.

Tim Buckley

because the night

have I doubt when I’m alone
love is a ring, the telephone
love is an angel disguised as lust
here in our bed until the morning comes
come on now try and understand
the way I feel under your command
take my hand as the sun descends
they can’t touch you now,
can’t touch you now, can’t touch you now
because the night belongs to lovers …

The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day.
Why leave me standing here?
Let me know the way.
