Song For Elias

(album: Cities - 2006)

Meant to meet you but I couldn't stay
Till now never knew how life tears you away
Now I wait for the springtime in Spain
My love

A beautiful being's so sad and so strong
You gave me a story you gave me a song
When he played his guitar she would weep
My love

So one rainy day that spirit took flight
She made him a cap full of magic and might
For his birthday to rule a great stage
(and perform till old age)
My love

And why did you never arrive
When we before you left I saw tears in your eye
And your mother just told me you
My love

Estaba en otro sitio

To state he was born by got rhythm within
Was to put it so mildly her crying face grinned
It would spring from all fibres of humanly everythings
My love

Nothing's sure but that love never reasons
Now the world might have lost all its springtimes
And all of the seasons are bleak without you
My love

Estaba en otro sitio

Meant to meet you but I couldn't stay
Till now never knew how life tears you away
Now I wait for the springtime in Spain
My love

Estaba en otro sitio
