Las palabras (part. Falta y Resto)

People come and go, but the words remain
Like a star that bears witness to a ship
So the mark in the mud will recall the wheel
Like an arrow holds the tension of the bow
People come and go, but the words remain
People come and go, but the words remain

The sky aligns when the words sound (mm-mm-mm)
And in the sound, what they name takes shape (mm)
Sooner or later, by the bad or the good (mm)
The word shadow gives us refuge from the sun (mm, mm-mm)
And brace yourself in shadows, the word sorrow (mm-mm-mm)
The sky aligns when the words sound

Let’s use words to add some shades
Let’s seek subtlety in the chatter
Let’s honor every letter of what’s said
The scale of grays has infinite degrees

Like infinite channels, the word river
Let’s use words to add some shades
Brush your skin with the two syllables of silk
See my face reflected in the word puddle
And hear the wind in the letters of the grove
Cross the sea aboard the word ship
People come and go, but the words remain
People come and go, but the words remain
Like a star that bears witness to a ship
So the mark in the mud will recall the wheel
Like an arrow holds the tension of the bow
People come and go, but the words remain
People come and go, but the words remain
People come and go, but the words remain
People come and go, but the words remain
