Quando As Palavras

I am beyond sleep, in a paper dream, a thread of opium, a Chinese shadow tattooed in the sky.
Today I don't feel like being contrary, an enfant terrible.
I just want the new codes, I just want to enter and participate.
To meet in a dream that is possible for both of us.

You are my Guardian Angel and I give you trouble...
You are my 'Book-Man', my shelter:
who reads to me every night, who lifts me up whenever I fall.
How I would like to give back. How I would like to learn to ask.

When words don't say who we are.

The city is submerged in a rainy morning.
Swamps and dinosaurs take over the avenues.
The girl has insomnia and only sometimes sleeps.
She disappears and wakes up hungry and wakes up hungry.
This is my new pain. Say hello to her, don't make her wait.

When words don't say who we are.
We spend in ink what we promise in dreams.
When words don't say who we are.

Oh! My Guardian Angel, I know I give you trouble.
You and I are the same... I so wanted to make you happy...
Don't expect me to change overnight
