Como La Marea
Alberto Cortez
Like the Tide
One sunny morning
When spring opened
With the soul on the loose
He left
Talked about to be or not to be
The treacherous habit
Erases what remains
To know
And it's necessary to free
The wings feather by feather
And let the anxiety consume
You have to understand
And said nothing else
Left the key at the entrance
And left
Like the tide
He left my beach
Like the tide
Stirred the sand
And hastened my sorrows
Like the tide
I saw him drift away
And leave me
The tough task
Of extinguishing dreams
And making them disappear
Like the tide
Like the tide
He suddenly left
Like the tide
Boredom began
To fill voids
In any way
To leave open
The soul and the door
So he would return
Like the tide
So he would return
Like the tide
One sunny morning
When spring closed
With the soul on the loose
He returned
Talked about loneliness
That came from a failure
That I could forget
Between my arms
That he wanted to restore
What had been taken from me
That had never stopped
Wanting
Now you can trust
There will be no more goodbyes
I won't leave your life
Never again
Like the tide
He returned to my beach
Like the tide
Moistened the sand
And dried my sorrows
Like the tide
Opened the window
That was left closed
That morning
And lit up again
My dearest dreams
Like the tide
Like the tide
He returned suddenly
Like the tide
And left the boredom
Of filling voids
In any way
I locked the door
To stay alert
So he wouldn't leave
If he wanted to come back
So he wouldn't leave
Like the tide
