00:00I still see the sun those afternoons
00:04Shining in your girlish hair
00:08Yeah, running down the dirt road
00:12While the world was small
00:15And fit entirely within your smile
00:19We didn't know about goodbyes
00:22We didn't know the word farewell in time
00:26That silent old man was already writing our story
00:30Without asking anyone's permission
00:35One day you left
00:37Like someone closing the door
00:40Without knowing that someone stayed inside
00:46I took your name with me
00:48I kept your voice in the pocket of my memory
00:51And I walked on, the years came
00:55One, ten, twenty, forty-five
00:57Each one heavier than the last
01:01Other streets, other faces
01:03But none had your gaze
01:05That taught me to love
01:06Even before I understood love
01:11The songs grew sadder
01:13The Sundays longer
01:16And hope
01:18I hope withered
01:21Like a forgotten flower in the window
01:28Today I walk slowly
01:30Not just because of age
01:33But because of the weariness of waiting
01:36For someone who perhaps doesn't even remember
01:39That I ever existed
01:41My dreams were left behind
01:43My laughter was lost in the wind
01:47And my heart
01:48It insists on beating
01:52As if still searching for your footsteps on the corn
01:56Forty-five years later
01:59The world keeps turning
02:01But inside me everything stopped
02:05On that distant afternoon
02:07When I saw you for the last time
02:11Now I ask for nothing more
02:13Neither a reunion
02:16Nor an explanation
02:22I only carry the silence
02:25Like someone holding the last lit candle
02:31In a dark room
02:35Sometimes I think
02:37That disappearing would only be
02:39Returning to being a child
02:40Dissolving into time
02:42And who knows
02:43Far away somewhere
02:44Where pain cannot reach
02:46I might find you
02:46Running again
02:47Down the street of my childhood
02:49Because deep down
02:51I didn't just lose you
02:52I lost the entire world
02:54That existed when you were in it
