Spring 03:32
Oh girl, I keep knocking at your door You only say that you feel unsure And let me turn from sweet to sour In a motionless state where the world keeps spinning round without me Why d’you stand scratching at her door? She won’t give you no more Frustration and pain are the consequences of your love in vain Choose your pride over prayers, stop thinking about her Quit despair for a better drug There’s no addiction to expectation Look at you boy, your black suit’s too tight For many months, you slept with the night Open yourself to the unknown Years with the same habits have made a caricature of your own I tried to find this other side where we would shine on As time goes by and by I hear how crazy it sounds I leave prayers for my pride

You were not anywhere Never here nor mentally there We could not help wondering Was our story about to end And then a stone within your chest Threw all our thoughts down to waste Deep inside we found that we have not been always around Let’s try to forget and look to the sun without regret Will you please come back home? You should never have walked alone Sides by sides we'll get along As the future lasts for long Kill this stone inside your chest Throw your pain all down to waste You are so young, please let us stay a little more around There’ll be no regret, we know who we are and ’ll never forget

Winter 07:43
I thought we were a granite peak with endless trails to pace Withstanding headwinds and the storm, still for many years Well I missed the narrow clefts, they broadened into rifts Snow was whiter than ever but unstable beneath Suddenly, suddenly you went cold as an avalanche You broke, and we fell down, I fail to climb back in What should I have done? Leave you free, be gone? Help me understand: it’s worse to stay ignorant than alone The roar, the rumble, the rush overwhelmed our landscapes Then a deafening silence, my lungs are filled with pain Flabbergasted, petrified, on a ridge without anchorage There is a gulch below and I only see your face I should have drained your tears like the sun dries the rain Now as the abyss calls, tell me my darlin’
