lyrics
Think of a time that was not so long ago, quietly smiling at the blue sky. With your hair like a river through my fingers and your eyes like a sea, pure and wild.
I knew this, I’ve seen this, I hoped this time would never end.
Our endless conversations in your room which were so boring for all our friends filled my time and taught me more about life that any experience could have done.
There’s not a square inch of your soft white skin my fingers did not touch and explore as we invented new games of love where both of us were the winners.
“I ‘ll love you for ever” I promised one day, I will not be a liar ; your eyes will shine inside my memory my whole life long, you can trust me.
I’ve searched for all the pictures of you I’ve kept though it makes me remember how we used to drown our minds in wine and laughter, a little bit later, it was in tears.
Now I live in the center of an old and sin-king town. I don’t know where you are now, there’s no trace of you on these walls. The cars, they scream ; the crowd, it goes its way ; the concrete is punishing all my desires ; I see people drink and fake their happiness while their world is drowning in a tragical mess.
