Mãe

Words, you're silent, I did nothing
I am so unhappy
If you spoke, gave, saw not
Immense loneliness

I am a King with no end
And you shine inside here
Guitars, rooms, wind, ground
What pain in the heart

Cities, seas, people, river
No one loves me
Cicadas, beds, laps, nests
A little warmth

I am such a lonely man
But you shine in what I am
And my path and your path
Is one neither go nor come

Children, waves, alleys, mother
And just because you're not here
You are to me nothing more
In the mouth of mornings

I'm sad, almost a sad creature
And you shine nonetheless
I sing, scream, run, cry
And never reach you
