Sleep well, my dear

Here we are again!

Trying not to screw it up this time!
Trying to do the correct!
Trying this time not to lose something I shouldn't never have lost before!

If I have to jump... I will!
If I have to believe... I will!
If you tell me to put me apart... I will!

And when you will be gone, because you will (I know), I hope I could remember you as one of the most amazing dreams I've ever had, as something will always come back to my mind whenever I'll open an excepcional red wine :-)
Because this is how I will remember you, caught into a fancy bottle that makes feel drunk of pleasure and happiness whenever I open you and taste you again!

I can hear the turning of the key
I've been deceived by the clown inside of me.
I thought that he was righteous but he's vain
Oh, something's a-telling me I wear the ball and chain.

My patron saint is a-fighting with a ghost
He's always off somewhere when I need him most.
The Spanish moon is rising on the hill
But my heart is a-tellin' me I love ya still.

I come back to the town from the flaming moon
I see you in the streets, I begin to swoon.
I love to see you dress before the mirror
Won't you let me in your room one time 'fore I finally disappear?

Everybody's wearing a disguise
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes.
But me, I can't cover what I am
Wherever the children go I'll follow them.

I march in the parade of liberty
But as long as I love you I'm not free.
How long must I suffer such abuse
Won't you let me see you smile one time before I turn you loose?

I've given up the game, I've got to leave,
The pot of gold is only make-believe.
The treasure can't be found by men who search
Whose gods are dead and whose queens are in the church.

We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,
I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
My head tells me it's time to make a change
But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.

One more time at midnight, near the wall
Take off your heavy make-up and your shawl.
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
Let me feel your love one more time before I abandon it.

A rose for a girl

Es por culpa de una hembra
que me estoy volviendo loco
No puedo vivir sin ella
pero con ella tampoco

Y si de este mal de amores
yo me fuera pa la tumba
a mi no me mandeis flores
que como dice esta rumba

Quise cortar la flor
mas tierna del rosal
pensando que de amor
no me podria pinchar
y mientras me pinchaba
me enseño una cosa
que una rosa es una rosa es una rosa...

Y cuando abri la mano
y la deje caer
rompieron a sangrar
las llagas en mi piel
y con sus petalos
me la curo mimosa
que una rosa es una rosa es una rosa...

Pero cuanto mas me cura
al ratito mas me escuece
porque amar es el empiece
de la palabra amargura

Una mentira y un credo
por cada espina del tallo
que injertandose en los dedos
una rosa es un rosario

Cuando abri la mano
y la deje caer
rompieron a sangrar
las llagas en mi piel
y con sus petalos
me la curo mimosa
que una rosa es una rosa es una rosa

A new beginnig

Here she is... say hello to Martina!

I sang the song slowly
As she stood in the shadows
She stepped to the light
As my silver strings spun
She called with her eyes
To the tune I's a-playin'
But the song it was long
And I'd only begun

Through a bullet of light
Her face was reflectin'
The fast fading words
That rolled from my tongue
With a long-distance look
Her eyes was on fire
But the song it was long
And there was more to be sung.

My eyes danced a circle
Across her clear outline
With her head tilted sideways
She called me again
As the tune drifted out
She breathed hard through the echo
But the song it was long
And it was far to the end

I glanced at my guitar
And played it pretendin'
That of all the eyes out there
I could see none
As her thoughts pounded hard
Like the pierce of an arrow
But the song it was long
And it had to get done

As the tune finally folded
I laid down the guitar
Then looked for the girl
Who'd stayed for so long
But her shadow was missin'
For all of my searchin'
So I picked up my guitar
And began the next song
