Text of the song
A mahogany box
In which I keep letters
and those flowers above the hood
I wanted to give them
If you are at home you I quote you
Please answer
I still love you
You can make love
Kisses on the mouth
Hands in the hands
The monsters on the lips
The eyes inside the eyes
Until you lose your breath
The chills on the neck
That I feel you feel alive
Remove your clothes
Together with the fears
The signs of a lifetime
Every scar of our
Connect the in
Like a constellation
While inside the hearts
They make a new song
You have to have the chaos inside
To cancel the distance
To give birth to a star that dance
To find ourselves in another galaxy
I wanted I was the sky
To stay to fly
Instead you are just a desire
That can no longer be come true
I looked at you in a thousand ways
Loving each of them
And every day together
For me it was a masterpiece
Now that I will have to get used to
To live alone
I remember your hands
Like my shelter
And I will use this pillow
To fill the void
Closed inside that drawer
All dreams in smoke
And they told me
That someone took my place
That kiss I gave you
He was from God
You can make love
Kisses on the mouth
Hands in the hands
The monsters on the lips
The eyes inside the eyes
Until you lose your breath
The chills on the neck
That I feel you feel alive
Remove your clothes
Together with the fears
The signs of a lifetime
Every scar of our
Connect the in
Like a constellation
While inside the hearts
They make a new song
You have to have the chaos inside
To cancel the distance
To give birth to a star that dance
To find ourselves in another galaxy
I wanted I was the sky
To stay to fly
Instead you are just a desire
That can no longer be come true
Now that life seems to separate us
You explain it to me how I should then forget about you
Of that distant castle
And your dog in the garden
Tell me where we were over once we were
I will keep it in a mahogany box
And when I will see you again
I will read you the letters I wrote
Throughout my life
Imagining an ending
That I hoped was better than that
