Hace días que esta canción me da vueltas en la cabeza; el título original es "The Blower's daughter", de Damien Rice. La redescubrí gracias a un amigo con el que quedé en un local con música en directo, y la verdad es que me pareció preciosa, y ligeramente conocida. Más tarde me dí cuenta de que formaba parte de la banda sonora de "The Closer", película un tanto rara, con actores como Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman, Jude Law y Clive Owen. La letra dice:
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new
