I’m going back to square one like this.
I’ll turn out the lights
And from here you’ll disappear
In a few moments
Outside this fog
Outside the storm
There’s a long and limpid night
It will end
But it’s tenderness
That scares us
You’re in my soul
And I leave you there always
Suspended, unmoving
Freeze-frame
A sign that never goes away
I’m going back to square one, you’ll see.
What stays behind
Isn’t all false and useless
You’ll understand.
I let days go by
Between certainties and mistakes
It’s a narrow, narrow road
That leads to you
Such tenderness
Doesn’t scare us any more
You’re in my soul
And I leave you there always
You’re in each part of me
I feel you descend
Between my breath and my pulse
You’re in my soul
You’re in my soul
In this defenceless space
It all begins with you
We don’t need a reason
We’re flesh and breath
Drop by drop
Side by side
