A Noite Passada

Last night I woke up with your kiss
down the Douro river and I went to wait for you at the Tejo
you were coming on a boat that I didn't see pass by
I ran along the shore to the edge of the sea
until I saw you in a sandcastle
you sang "I'm a seagull and I was a mermaid"
I laughed at you "then why don't you fly?"
and then you looked
then you smiled
you opened the window and flew

Last night I went for a walk in the sea
the guitar sister took care of dragging me
reached the high sea the world split in two
I looked down you were sleeping deep down
I missed my step felt like sinking
among the seaweed your hair floated
the full moon darkened in the waters
and then we talked
and then we said
here we lived for many years

Last night a wall collapsed
through the open crack my heart escaped
you were on the other side knitting windows
you saw me in secret as you leaned over them
I approached you whispered "hello",
touched your shoulder and the mark stayed there
the whole sun fell between the mountains
and then you looked
then you smiled
you said "glad you came back"
