Elena

On a day like today
She was left alone
He promised to come back later
He was going to fight for the country

He never said goodbye
He decided it was better to say 'see you later'
And so, pretending to smile
She watched him leave

Elena wrote to him
He answered some letters
That she never stopped reading
Letters of war, letters of love

He went to fight at the front
To conquer those islands
When the bullet hit him
The angel of death took him away

And she can't help but feel
That one day he will come back
All that's left is to wait
The war never ended
The tomb of pain
Is always open in her heart

Naked, the city
Searching through the streets she goes
Years go by and she is
Kissing the wind, looking at the sea
She didn't want to ask when the others returned
And if a ship arrives from the south
Her face shines full of light

Elena can't help but feel
That one day he will come back
All that's left is to wait
The war never ended
The tomb of pain
Is always open in her heart
