[Song] Inner Smile


(one, two, three, four)

yeh, yeh yeh, yeh yeh, yeh yeh, yeh yeh, yeh yeh, yeh oh yeh

you gave me something

like loving
and took me in so soon
you took my feelings
from nothing
came back at noon
just meet me
i'm ready
to show myself to
you

so if i lose my patience
you must try to understand
(try to understand)
if i lose my patience
oh yeh

cause you make me feel
cause you make me feel wild
you touch my inner smile
you got me in the mood

so come and make your rule
and free me

you make my wishes
as much as your kisses make me blue
you've found my river now will you escape away too
but baby i'm ready i'm falling into you

so if i lose my patience
you must try to understand (try to understand)
if i lose my patience

oh yeh cause you make me feel
cause you make me feel wild
you touch my inner smile
you got me in the mood
so come and make your rule
and free me free me free me

wow wow wow wow wow wow wow yeh

cause you make me feel wild
you touch my inner smile
you got me in the mood
so come and make your rule
and touch my inner smile
come get my inner smile, smile, smile yeh yeh

sometimes i need to be alone
there's times i need for you to phone
sometimes you make me feel so high
there's times i ask myself why
sometimes i need to be alone there's times

The Rainbow


From the top of the Volcano,
From the colorfull deep sea,
From the shining starstorm
[that I saw last night

I smell the sky above my shoulders
no weight, no mystic, no soul
only the lonely feeling of zero gravity
drifting on the big wheel

I hope to find the reef
and be able to hold tight
I want to climb on
so I might stifle the pain

I have succeeded
from there, the reef was only a little stone
but the heartache remains the same

And I wonder
wheter if there were no sorrow
maybe, then, life would be a total nonsense
Where is the rainbow? Between the storm and the ray of hope,
and I smile.

that evoke past and future days, Chapter IX

[Song] Missing

I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again and past your door
But you don't live there any more
It's years since you've been there
But now you've disappeared somewhere like outer space
You've found some better place

And I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain

Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead of everyone
We'd walk behind while you would run
I look up at your house
And I can almost hear you shout down to me
Where I always used to be

And I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain

Back on the train

I ask why did I come again?
Can I confess I've been hanging around your old address?
The years have proved, to offer nothing since you moved
You're long gone
But I can't move on

And I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you

I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again and past your door
But you don't live there any more
It's years since you've been there
But now you've disappeared somewhere like outer space
You've found some better place

And I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
And I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain
The deserts miss the rain - like the deserts miss the rain
The deserts miss the rain
like the deserts miss the rain

Eighteen years ago...

Eighteen years ago, a day as today, I was still attending to school.

My grandparents would take me there. The pupils would form rows, one for each class, on colored lines painted on the floor. At half past nine, we would enter into the classes.

Two hours later, we would enjoy half an hour outside, at the playground. We would run, fall down, laugh, exchange stickers, and play games with our friends.

That day, Something special happened. I didn´t play nor exchange stickers. I remember that I was totally absorbed. And I didn´t want to tell anybody about it. It was my secret.

So, today, eighteen years later, I only can say: Nice to meet you and happy birthday, M.!

Motorbikes and winter

These Christmas, I had ridden on a motorbike.

My brother and I had to go to other city, 30km away from the place where we were, and we didn`t have a car available, so we picked his motorbike. We could have get on the train or bus, but they are too slow.

We put on our helmets, and we get on it. I wouldn´t drive it, therefore I could just enjoy the ride.

Initially, all went right. We were driving at low speed, and I was watching the urban landscape: Buildings, night lights and cars. It was great!

Some minutes later, we entered in the motorway. Our speed had increased: It was around 100km/h, and I started to realise that wind plus low temperatures are not a good combination. I suppose that the temperature was approximately 10ºC. It could seem not a low one, but I felt as it was worse.

The cold air went through my coat. My gloves weren´t good enough to avoid my fingers being chilled to the bone. My feet hurt. As time passed by, the freezing sensation was even more unbearable, although I tried to hide my hands and feet from the wind.

After 50 minutes on the motorbike, we finally arrived to our destiny.

I got my body as if a frost had reached my skin. We parked the motorbike and started to walk. Luckily, after some minutes, I recovered myself and felt better.

Next time, I will take my best gloves and shoes. And I will put my pyjama under my jeans to keep my legs warm!... Or it may be better to keep motorbikes for the summer.
