Sonhador Acordado

(Paúl do mar - Madeira - Julho de 2005)

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
The photograph on the dashboard taken years ago
turn around backwards so the windshield shows
Every streetlight reveals a picture and a verse
Still it's so much clearer
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge
The moon is low tonight

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
I'm not sure all these people understand
It's not like years ago,
The fear of getting caught, the recklessness in water
They cannot see me naked
These things, they go away, replaced by everyday

Nightswimming, remembering that night
September's coming soon, I'm pining for the moon
And what if there were two side by side in orbit
around the fairest sun
A bright type could never draw
could not describe nightswimming

You, I thought I knew you. You, I cannot judge
You, I thought you knew me
This one laughing quietly underneath my breath
Nightswimming
