Rob Schackne #202 - O Cantador

To paraphrase JG Ballard, the best time to re-write history is when it's fresh. So...yeah.

O Cantador

                 for Elis Regina

Like a lover
I turn my pockets out
then I find you
you were always there
so let it be me
the sunset for an hour
butterflies everywhere
like a lover
I walk for hours
vaguely in the direction
of your heart
mine is beating wildly
let it be me
like a lover
who sings of perfection
how the world fades away
when you're in my arms again
please let it be me
let it be me
