Recuerdo Cronico
Sergio Dalma
Chronic Memory
The soft patter of raindrops on my face
Prelude to spending a whole night out of bed
Anxious for you, drunk on life
Tired of seeing doors right in front of my nose
Defeated with nowhere to go
Searching for you against myself
Adam's rib, future left in the past
Going in to kill words with sawed-off shotguns
Wanting to wake up
What I dreamt of, turning fiction into reality
In the same place where the end begins
I put everything on the line to forget
Disordering ways of living
I follow your shadow restlessly all over Madrid
I counterattack and the heart strikes back
The mark left by need
Highway heading nowhere
Chronic memory.
Winter of sun, what a shame about the storm in summer
No winners in this war that’s already over
Breaking down in tears won’t stop the takeoff
Maybe by morning the storm will calm down
Maybe when I leave, you’ll want to look for me
Chronic and deadly memory
Disordering ways of living
I follow your shadow restlessly all over Madrid
I counterattack and the heart strikes back
The mark left by need
Highway heading nowhere
Chronic memory
Chronic memory.
