Sometimes I
DANIEL RAVIER 1961 (BUENOS AIRES)
Sometimes I find so hard to take on what you say,
to leave it all behind,
to keep me from your words,
to get you out of my mind.
Sometimes I don't get it right,
I don't think it is nice raging from the heart,
I don't feel is fine blaming on the past.
Anywhere you are, any place I see
some place else I leave, I won't go anymore,
to keep me safe from another fall.
Somewhere anyhow there must be a never touched land,
a shooting star to be dreamed of,
a favorite place to settle down.
Sometimes I walk so far as I can,
I rely on old friends' advice,
I dive into deep to relieve the pain to finally see
that sunrise doesn't seem to have the answer
Sometimes I stare at the sun,
I challenge every shadow in the street with disrespect,
I ride on every found love to see you again.
