Baú de Madeira

There was a time
When I believed everything was easy

There was a time
When I only saw the simple things

I concocted so many love stories
I scratched out so many lines declaring
Throwing so many words into the wind

And the wind carried my words far away
And with them carried my wooden chest
Which is my old heart
Which is my old heart

Stay with me
It's with you that I don't feel alone

And then I felt an emptiness
No words to say
No one to understand

And when I looked, it wasn't the wind
It was some kind of Galilean
Walking on the sand

And he walked looking at me
Bringing in his hands my refurbished chest
With the words in the right places

And the wind blew my words back
Teaching me that there is a time for everything
Just wait in the heart
Just wait in the heart

Stay with me
It's with you that I don't feel alone

Now I know that love
Has the shape of a cross

Stay with me
It's with you that I don't feel alone
