Lyrics

[00:03.34]
[00:04.34]
[00:06.21] Do you remember when you walked with me
[00:11.47] Down the street into the square?
[00:16.52] How the women selling rosemary
[00:21.97] Pressed the branches to your chest,
[00:24.78] Promised luck and all the rest,
[00:27.38] And put their fingers in your hair?
[00:37.90] I had met you just the day before,
[00:42.92] Like an accident of fate,
[00:48.21] In the window there behind your door.
[00:53.68] How i wanted to break in
[00:56.46] To that room beneath your skin,
[00:59.09] But all that would have to wait.
[01:03.22] In the carmen of the martyrs,
[01:05.82] With the statues in the courtyard
[01:08.45] Whose heads and hands were taken,
[01:10.87] In the burden of the sun;
[01:13.77] I had come to meet you
[01:16.10] With a question in my footsteps.
[01:18.70] I was going up the hillside
[01:21.19] And the journey just begun.
[01:29.94] My sister says she never dreams at night
[01:35.24] There are days when i know why;
[01:40.26] Those possibilities within her sight,
[01:46.58] With no way of coming true.
[01:49.30] Some things just don＇t get through
[01:51.37] Into this world , although they try.
[01:55.73] In the carmen of the martyrs,
[01:58.66] With the statues in the courtyard
[02:01.23] Whose heads and hands were taken,
[02:03.56] In the burden of the sun;
[02:06.58] I had come to meet you
[02:09.04] With a question in my footsteps.
[02:12.02] I was going up the hillside
[02:14.15] And the journey just begun.
[02:17.03] All i know of you
[02:24.30] Is in my memory
[02:27.32] All i ask is you
[02:35.03] Remember me.
