Un Centavo de Amor

Sadder than the sea, after the shipwreck
Hands wanting to speak, but the soul can't
You can hear the waves creaking in the night
How dark the horizon is for the two of us
We're missing the spark

Like a tightrope walker on a wire
I taste the fear in a misstep
There's a frozen chill
Beneath the subtle scaffolding of your skin

We're opposites
A little calm, for God's sake!

So distant, so cold, so beautiful
Mysteriously perfect
I spend sleepless nights
Watching your breath

So ethereal, so fragile and beautiful
Like peace at the end of a war
I worship you like a star
Without receiving from you, not a penny of love

One hundred forty days of clean air
A guest in paradise next to you
It was like flying on a comet
Captive to your ivory hips

Hypnotic games
A little calm, for God's sake!

So distant, so cold, so beautiful
Mysteriously perfect
I spend sleepless nights
Watching your breath

So ethereal, so fragile and beautiful
Like peace at the end of a war
I worship you like a star
Without receiving from you, not a penny of love

So distant, so cold, so beautiful
So distant, so cold, you so beautiful
