Hale Bopp

You were a girl
Fascinated by the light
That the trail emitted
Of the comet hale bopp

You watched it every night pointing its altitude
You attracted it with your eyes to where you were

You decided to disappear
And jump to catch yourself in its wake

From the air
You could see
Everything you left on earth

Hale bopp is a hundred and twenty million miles away
But can still be seen with the naked eye
Through history
Comets have been seen as predictors of great events

The eyewitnesses of your orbit
Know the exact day you will return
I've been calculating it since '96
I wait for you at the window 20 years later
And I've thought about disappearing
And jumping to catch myself in its wake
From the air, we will be able to see
Everything we left on earth

More than 20 years have passed
And I have never stopped looking towards space
I felt the cold in your hands
And you didn't realize I was always by your side

Because I wanted to disappear
And jump to catch myself in its wake
From the air, we will be able to see
Everything we left on earth
