Saigon

Saigon
So many words, half-words
Our apartment, a piece of Saigon
Said goodbye to me in the mirror with lipstick
Go, my shining star
This whole city like a sky of neon light
Its brightness silences all sound
Sometimes you walk around
Play at surrendering, dream so as not to sleep
And I almost always think about leaving you
And all you have to do is arrive for me to forget about myself
It got dark
I look at the sky and see how good it is
Have the stars in the darkness
I hope you come back to Saigon
It got dark
I look at the sky and see how good it is
Have the stars in the darkness
I hope you come back to Saigon
