The reason for your silences
What do you want to hide?
The reason for so much time
Without talking.
God save you from making up (things)
From lying or from keeping quiet when you sing.
Like a defenceless bird
Beneath the storm.
You still find foundations,
In the cruel ruin,
Of your memory when you remember,
The reason for your silences.
(Chorus:)
And the traces of your feet,
In the sand facing the sea,
Erased by the to and fro of the waters.
The end is the beginning
No one waits for you anymore, you don't know if you're going Out or coming in.
They're family matters,
That can't be dealt with.
People don't change,
Genes don't deceive,
And your darts never hit
The centre of the the dartboard's bull's-eye.
(Chorus)
How difficult it is to be able to put, everyday,
A little light in your veins.
(Chorus)
