Step a little closer each day??

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on

Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little BIT of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer EACH DAY
Still I can't SAY what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer TO ME
So close that I can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't WANNA scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know

Damien Rice - Cannonball

Algo con lo que últimamente me siento identificada....

Older chests reveal themselves

Like a crack in a wall

Starting small,

and grow in time

And we all seem to need the help

Of someone else

To mend that shelf

of too many books

Read me your favourite line

Papa went to other lands

And he found someone who understands

The ticking, and the western man's need to cry

He came back the other day, yeah you know

Some things in life may change

And some things

They stay the same

Like time, there's always time

On my mind

So pass me by, I'll be fine

Just give me time

Older gents sit on the fence

With their cap in hand

Looking grand

They watch their city change

Children scream, or so it seems,

Louder than before

Out of doors, into stores with bigger names

Mama tried to wash their faces

But these kids they lost their graces

And daddy lost at the races too many times

She broke down the other day,

yeah you know

Some things in life may change

And some things they stay the same

Like time, time, there's always time

On my mind

So pass me by, I'll be fine

Just give me time,

Time, there's always time

On my mind

Pass me by, I'll be fine

Just give me time

Can't take my eyes out of you...

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
