Just One thing

"Restless tonight
'Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line

It’s nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line

If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn’t that be something?

I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time

Even though I know
I don’t want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds"

Confession

"waiting for death
like a cat
that will jump on the
bed

I am so very sorry for
my wife

she will see this
stiff
white
body

shake it once, then
maybe again:

"Hank!"

Hank won't
answer.

it's not my death that
worries me, it's my wife
left with this
pile of
nothing.

I want to
let her know
though
that all the nights
sleeping
beside her

even the useless
arguments
were things
ever splendid

and the hard
words
I ever feared to
say
can now be
said:

I love
you."

(Bukowsky)

Lie with me and just forget the world

"We'll do it all, Everything, on our own
We don't need anything or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know how to say how I feel
Those three words I’ve said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's burstin’ into life

Let's waste time Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace to remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
It’s here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things
Will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?"

Collision

I finally find: You and I collide...


"Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

I'm quiet, you know?
You make a frist impression
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to ryhme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide"

Isabel Reis Santos

You know what you've got to do...

"I have walked all alone on these streets I call home
Streets of hope, streets of fear
Through the sidewalk cracks, time dissapears

I was lost, on my knees, on the eve of defeat
As i choked back the tears
There's a silent scream no-one could hear
So far away from everything, you know it's true
Something inside that makes you know what you've got to do

Ring the bells, ring them loud
Let them ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the bells of freedom
When your world's crashing down like you've lost every round
Stand your ground and ring the bells of freedom

Up the steps of the church
Through the fields in the dirt
In the dark I have seen
That the sun still shines for the one who believed

So far away, so full of doubt, you needed proof
Just close your eyes and hear the sound inside of you"

Light up the dark

This Willow needs a Xander...



"It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word,you can light up the dark
Try as I may, I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing...

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall...
You say it best, when you say nothing at all...

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Try as they may, they can never define
What's been said between your heart and mine"

(When you say nothing at all)

Isabel Reis Santos

Procura-se

"No lânguido esmaecer das amorosas
Tardes que morrem voluptuosamente
Procurei-O no meio de toda a gente.
Procurei-O em horas silenciosas

(...)

Boca sangrando beijos, flor que sente...
Olhos postos num sonho, humildemente...

(...)

Em toda a nossa vida anda a quimera
Tecendo em frágeis dedos frágeis rendas...
- Nunca se encontra aquele que se espera..."
