12 / Romantic Collapse
Clavada en Tu Voz
Sun bleeds out behind the ridge Sky bruised red and blue Every step across the square Leads me back to you Lanterns sway in evening wind Casting broken light Even shadows seem to know You died tonight Ay mujer, por qué te fuiste Sin decir adiós Dejaste mi alma abierta Clavada en tu voz "Side by side till death" Vows cut through my chest Nothing lets it pass Every word pulls at the wound Won't let it close How can something once so warm Turn this cold? Ay mujer, por qué te fuiste Sin decir adiós Dejaste mi alma abierta Clavada en tu voz Your comb still rests beside the sink Strands of dark still there I can't move a single thing The room still smells like prayer Bootheels echo in my head Though the street is bare I would break this pride in two Just to feel you near Ay mujer, por qué te fuiste Sin decir adiós Dejaste mi alma abierta Clavada en tu voz Friends pour fire into a glass Say I'll be just fine But they never felt your hand Steady holding mine They don't wake before the dawn Grasping empty sheets They don't hear your name repeat In my heartbeat Ay mujer, por qué te fuiste Sin decir adiós Dejaste mi alma abierta Clavada en tu voz Moonlight floods the silent room Silver on the floor I sit staring at the door You won't cross no more If love was meant to make us strong Why does mine destroy? How can hands that once held life Leave only void? Ay mujer, por qué te fuiste Sin decir adiós Dejaste mi alma abierta Clavada en tu vozBack to The Land of Silver and Sorrow
