ASK ME HOW I'M DOING

LYRICS
Ask me how I’m doing
As though you do still care
I won’t know how to answer you
Still, I cannot bear
Another night
like yesternight
Pretending to be fine
with all my might
Our story’s ended, this I know
I know this to be true
Just one short conversation more
Is all that I am asking for /
Pregunta si he dormido bien
Prepárame un café
Tomemos desayuno juntos
Por última vez
Tan sólo un
Momento más
Un segundito más
De complicidad
Yo sé que tú ya has encon-
trado un nuevo amor
Lo entiendo, te respeto pero
Igual te pido este favor
CHORUS
Walk with me
Acompáñame un instante
Talk with me
Compartamos como antes
Humour me
Compláceme, querido, que mi pena ya
pronto pasará
Ask me how I'm feeling
As though you do still care
The answer might get messy
Still, I cannot bear
Another day
Like the other day
Spent wondering whether
Life is better for you this way
Our story's over, this I know
I know this much is true
Just wishing you were here with me;
for one last taste of normalcy
CHORUS
Walk with me
Acompáñame un instante
Talk with me
Compartamos como antes
Humour me
Compláceme, querido, que mi pena ya...
This too shall pass
Soy mujer, ergo, valiente
I'll wear the mask
Más que nada soy consciente
I just had to ask
Consciente que mi pena, que mi soledad
pronto pasará.

DOLLY'S SONG

LYRICS
Come in from the storm
Old friend, it's been too long
The years have not been kind
To you and our kind
Been waiting on this stool for you
To find your way back home to me
Come sit so I can braid your hair
And love you again.
The lights shine much too bright
For us to hide the truth
For you to hide your pain
For me to hide from you
We've fought a million wars thus far
We're owed a moment's peace, we are
So come in from the storm, old friend
Hold me again.
CHORUS
Take your dog-tired hands
And gently trace my scars
As we brace ourselves for debris
and falling stars
Whisper into my ear
Show me yours, I'll show you mine
Then we'll laugh our way through the fire
Drinking whiskey and wine
Bridge/Instrumental
(back to Chorus)

MORNING TWILIGHT
04:46
|
|||
The twilight of the dove;
city streets begin to sigh.
And streaming from above,
the faintest light.
Returning to a place
we have never been before.
I see an old man gaze
upon the shore.
CHORUS
Walking with you,
Rosewood in bloom,
We wend our way.
The sky turns to blue
We hold onto
Our love and seize the day.
BRIDGE
Tears drop from the trees
There's just you and me
Barefoot on the stone
This place feels like home
La hora del albor,
Caminamos rumbo al mar
Las calles sin rumor -
¡a despertar!
Junto a ti,
Quiero vivir
Y florecer
Y siempre reír,
Nunca dormir
Hasta el amanecer.

EL JARDÍN DE AMÁLIA
03:57
|

La pequeña Amália está
soñando con su libertad.
Vueltas y piruetas da,
bailando su felicidad.
Amanece en un jardín
tapizado de musgo y verdín.
Gotas de rocío/
en las plantas y las flores,
y se bañan las aves de mil colores
al rayar primera luz.
Canta y tararea,
de puntillas se deja llevar
por el dulce viento y el murmullo del arroyo,
un incandescente asombro en cada pasito...
Amáliaaaa.
Destacar
en su andar /
la inocencia pura, ternura y candor.
Exaltar
el altar
de la naturaleza, nobleza y verdor.
Sueño infantil,
paraíso fértil /
promesa'hecha a los niños que hay que cumplir.
La pequeña Amália está
soñando con su libertad.
Vueltas y piruetas da
bailando su felicidad.
