Miscellaneous
To the Center of the City
Tonight I want to go out,
to the center of the city
your body I want to find
on a wall,
may this cold warm me
that I like and feel mine
waking up.
(a) And little by little my heart begins like a madman,
following you.
And I feel my body again
running after a memory.
Looking for you.
Looking for you.
(b) I walk around the streets,
in my solitude.
I get lost in the cement,
of the big city.
Looking for you.
At night I cross a place
to the center of the city
I don't want to remember
that I lost you there,
the graffiti on the wall,
it screams at me in the darkness,
that everything is wrong.
The light on the asphalt
makes me hallucinate
I see you in the stained glass windows
and anywhere
around the city
Looking for you
