Slovo - Sertao Blues lyrics

rate me

Wear your Sunday best<br />

See your shoes are shined – right<br />

Check the stage is set<br />

For another clean – fight<br />

<br />

And you laugh<br />

And you sing<br />

and pray<br />

You’ll be understood<br />

Some other working day. <br />

<br />

When the house is lit<br />

When the strangers leave<br />

When the only sound <br />

Is the air you breath <br />

<br />

When the morning train<br />

Brings another day<br />

And an old refrain<br />

Slowly fades away <br />

<br />

When the tired streets<br />

Are your lonely host<br />

And the only guests <br />

Are the other ghosts <br />

<br />

When your mind is still<br />

When your pulse is slow<br />

When your thoughts return<br />

To all you long to know <br />

<br />

Who are you?<br />

<br />

In a shifting sky<br />

On a sleepless night<br />

In the silent truce<br />

Of a lovers’ fight <br />

<br />

In a moment freed<br />

In a stolen glance<br />

In forbidden steps<br />

To a secret dance <br />

<br />

In a knowing look<br />

From a covered face<br />

In a holy book<br />

In a sacred place <br />

<br />

In a final bow<br />

In a virgin kiss<br />

In the dying breath <br />

Of a moments bliss
