lyrics

I'm sick of watching cars on the road
And scanning the horizon for the sea
I'm sick of hearing I'm not meant for you
And that you're no good for me

And I'm tired of knowing you're not going to call
And I'm a fool for thinking that you will
I've always been the first of us to fall
If I'm in love, you're standing still

So winding road, please keep your promise
And take me out to where you're not
I can't keep you; let's be honest
Drive me sleepless, get me lost

And as I get further, lights begin to fade
But I still breathe you in the salty air
No matter if I go or if I stay
You're at my side- you're everywhere

And you're right here with me at the water's edge
So close that I start thinking I'll walk in
And leave you standing at the sandy ledge
Your soul still sighing in your skin

So waves, be lovers. Love, come closer.
Take my hands, dear. Taste my skin.
If we can't stay here or keep each other
Don't feel sorry. We were fated to wear thin.

So when you look, at night, across the bay
The sails all sighing with the evening breeze
The stars forever promising to stay
Don't hold your breath. Don't think of me.

Cuando yo muera, quiero tus manos en mis ojos
Porque te espero. Quiero tus manos en mis ojos

Cuando yo muera, quiero tus manos en mis ojos
Porque te espero. Quiero tus manos en mis ojos

Cuando yo muera, Cuando yo muera
Cuando yo muera, Quiero tus manos en mis ojos.
