Lyrics

Girl From Pachacamac

I wish I had the time
To look into your eyes
And quietly say the words
The words that you’d expect
I wish I’d touched your face
And you would hold my hand
Then tears were on our guard
And silence was our friend

And we would leave behind
The chaos in our lifes
The struggle and the strife
And the black and white
And all the letters that we wrote
Would be printed out in gold
In our memories to behold
Without explanations
To be told…

I dreamt I had the time
To listen what you’d say
And what you’d say was true
And we could start anew
I saw you backstage in that chair
Dressed up in lies, but, oh, so fair
And then I took you by the hand
And off we went

And we just drank to quench our thirst
That never dies and always burns
Deep in the night out on the streets
I’d like to kiss you too but it wouldn’t do
And all the poems that we wrote
Would be printed out in gold
In our memories to behold
Without explanations
To be told…

And we would leave behind
The chaos in our lifes
The struggle and the strife
And the black and white
And we just drink to quench our thirst
That never dies and always burns
Deep in the night out on the streets
I’d like to kiss you too but it wouldn´t do
And all the letters that we wrote
Would be printed out in gold
In our memories to behold
Without explanations
To be told
