Somos madero en deriva dentro y fuera de la costa, Somos bardos sin silencio con algunas libertades, Porque todo prisionero, de sí mismo extrae verdades, Aunque la verdad no existe. Somos algunas razones con bastante fundamento, Somos lo que busca, a tientas, un futuro que persiste En dejarnos como atados, no en mostrarnos como libres, Pues la libertad no existe. Somos parte de los pasos de la historia cotidiana, Somos como una ventana Que espera que un ojo mire para anunciar su mañana. Como una veleta nueva que no sabe dirigirse, Porque siempre los caminos, Son pocos para escogerse y largos para seguirse. Somos piedra sobre piedra, piedras de generaciones, Que actuamos como mortales y pensamos como flores, Porque una flor es la prueba, de que en medio de lo triste, Lo sensible lo renueva.

Perdon si pretendo Besos en la boca O estoy insinuando Una intimidad Contigo es dificil No romper las reglas De nuestra amistad Perdon si te acoso Con esta mirada O si me derrito Por sentir tu piel Soy olvidadiso Y no me acostumbro A que sigues con el Perdon si aparezco Por arte de magia Con la cara triste Y hablando de mi De como me siento Por la mala racha Cuando te perdi Comprendo el conflicto Que hubo entre nosotros Yo se que las cosas No van a cambiar Y aunque me arrodille Yo se que mi esfuerzo No va a resultar Perdon si reaciono Opaco y sensible No tengo motivos Para sonreir Perdon si me niego A darte la espalda No me quiero ir Perdon si en voz alta Digo que te amo Esta publicado En mi corazon Para que regreses Juro que quisiera Juro que quisiera Tener la razon

The city lights light up the skies and sidewalks And I realized the second they came on Surely that must be where all the light goes When it gets dark back home All the brunettes in New York City And all the hills and rain in Tennessee We road through them all for what seemed like years But I was thinking about you and me Oh Susanna Don't you cry for me I'm coming home to Alabama because I've got no place else to be. Oh Susanna It's me who cries for you Lord I'm coming home to stay and honey you're just passing through. I played my guitar out on the shore line And the fireworks, they burned our in the bay We drank til July fifth and then we slept right through the sixth And I thought about you all three days Then I guess I woke up sometime on a Friday And realized that drug store wine, it just don't taste the same Without the sweetness of your kiss to end the bottle. but man, it damn sure still works wonders on the pain Oh Susanna Don't you cry for me I've got bones beneath my skin to keep me who I've got to be Oh Susanna It's me who cries for you You sure do walk away a straight line for all the circles that you do. Your entrance killed the laughter in the room And my presence killed the laughter in you And the cue card guy quit yesterday You're left without a thing to say You kindly pass on through That's how I'll see you That's how I'll see you That's the portrait that I'll paint in my head every time I think of you It don't take much for me Just a tree line, some cheap wine and a back yard sky Hovering over me like forgiveness just dangling on a string It could turn it all around Let's turn it all around Oh Susanna Don't you cry for me I've got bones beneath my skin to keep me who I've got to be Oh Susanna It's me who cries for you You sure do walk away a straight line for all the circles that you do.

Was a long night turned into a long day back into a long night left to go My worries were as many and as bright and as broken as the reflectors in the middle of the road. I guess I became a danger and all my friends became strangers, I was feeling as cold and as alone. As a new lovers hell and I can already tell that I wasnt going home. No, I aint going home Cause I... want to feel. Like something God made. Even if it hurts sometime And I... want to live And die the long way. Even if its hard sometime. I'm sitting in a heartache and looking at kalediscopes Peeping through the bottom of my glass I'm plenty old to drink but still pretty young to think That my future might be shorter than my past. Theres a new light chasing off the moonlight making way for those with someplace to go Their gonna close the doors after one more song But I aint going home No I aint going home. Cause I... want to feel. Like something God made. Even if it hurts sometime And I... want to live And die the long way. Even if its hard sometime. God send me a radio, send me a song That will send me far away, send me back home. Give me a reason, give me a way Bring me tomorrow and wash away today Give me everything I want Give me everything I need Give me all the means... to believe Cause I... want to feel. Like something God made. Even if it hurts sometime And I... want to live And die the long way. Even if its hard sometime.

In the south of Alabamy, near the Gulf of Mexico On the banks of old Tombigbee Walks an old, lost forgotten soul He was once a man of virtue Sadly less a man of means Said, Cecilia I won't let them hurt you I'll set you free, I'll set you free Cause my love for you is stronger than these plantation walls It howls at the moon at night It don't know about the law And it is at your beg and call I said, Cecilia don't you cry By and by, Cecilia don't you cry She was born into subjection She was born without a say He was her first and only revelation That she might not die that way I will love you all the seasons What you want is what I'll be I'll be your rock, I'll be your reason Just set me free, Oh just set me free Cause my heart is so much stronger than these plantation walls It howls at the moon at night It don't care about the law And every night I hear it call I'll set us free Cecilia, don't you cry By and by, Cecilia don't you cry He had never been inclined to help another man to die Until the bossman finally wished to leave With Cecilia at his side, under that dark October sky They climbed upon their boat and left that man to bleed, bleed No sooner than the bossman died His fairy fell out of the sky A racer's storm was on the hunt they say And revenge it what a boat And sank his one and only hope As he heard Cecilia's cries fading away In the south of Alabamy, near the Gulf of Mexico On the banks of old Tombigbee Walks an old, lost forgotten soul From those mirky, shallow waters To the Carribean Sea You can hear him cry Cecilia come set me free Oh, come set me free Cecilia, please come set me free Come set me free, Come set me free Cecili, please come set me free

I remember I was singing about September When you walked across the boardwalk to that smoky bar And I'd been singing for the last six nights And I could barely talk to tell you just how pretty you were But you were as pretty as a preachers wife on Sunday I was useless like a church bell on a Friday night And I felt like a tragedy all dressed in dirty clothes When you walked out before I could say How when you stepped in And the world stopped spinning I gotta let you know Just how I've become an artist And how things fall apart It's the only thing I know Won't you just stay here We can just stay here We can just stay here Won't you just stay here Spent the whole next night on the telephone We were both alone just waiting on a change And I remember I felt as suave as a prom date 15 minutes late in a rented suit and his mothers car The next night was a Monday and you came over to my house We hardly talked about anything, but it never got quiet until we Kissed our first of many and the clock hands took reprieve From the round the clock labor of their day to day 'Cause when you steped in And the world stopped spinning I've gotta let you know That I know it will I don't know when that time will matter again But I don't want to let you go Won't you just stay here Won't you just stay here We can just lay here We can just lay here I was thinking I'd swing by sometime around midnight Turn my headlights off when I get near And let's say you and me, we get the hell out of this town 'Cause we're the only thing that ever happened here I've got 50 dollars and if we ride with the windows down And I screen my smokes I think we'll make it into Georgia And improvise from there And everybody knows from here That you can't go to hell without passing through Atlanta first I'll find a dead end job and I'll try to write a dead end song Just thoughtless enough to make the radio And we'll drink wine like water As if we had a sorrow to drown If that don't work it's alright, baby We can just stay here We can just stay here 'Cause when you stepped in And the world stopped spinning I gotta let you know Just how I've become an artist At how things fall apart It's the only thing I know Won't you just stay here We can just stay here We can just lay here We can just lay here We can just stay here (Stay here) We can just stay here oh (Stay here) We can get away dear oh (Away dear) We can just lay here I remember I was singing about September When you walked across the boardwalk to that smoky bar

I peel my label into hundreds of shreds Keep my eye on the door Smoke my last cigarette Above bottles clanging and conversation My watch is ticking and taunting and asking How long you waiting on a chance she won't show And I don't know Suddenly I'm beginning to feel a little past over and a little naive And just as i surrender my seat and reach for the keys to my car There you are There she comes like a spotlight coming down the hall She shines from the middle I can't see nothing else at all My red dress lady in a black and white town Don't turn around Keep coming my way Don't turn around Im staying in and she's out there tonight Out on the town until nearly daylight I'm getting older and it's getting late Wonder if she would call if she knew I'm awake Everything is changing and my warm feeling is converting to burning I can just see her waiting for somebody other than me Suddenly I'm beginning to feel a little passed over and a little naive But just as i give up on sleep and reach for the keys to my car There you are She calls out like a church bell ringing through the streets Bringing hope to the hopeless and me to my feet My red dress lady in a black and white town Don't turn around Keep coming my way Don't turn around She's a beautiful song just too long to write and too perfect to know I'm a sad sad song, but I wrote every note There she comes like a spotlight coming down the hall She shines from the middle I can't see nothing else at all My red dress lady in a black and white town Don't turn around Keep coming my way Don't turn around
