Red String
Oh, you are careless, oh daughter of the moonThe heart you protect is an empty roomYou lost the key at the river's mouthI chose to dive to pull it outThe water was dark, but the sunbeam shone brightAnd as I dove, day turned to nightThe key it sparkled and caught my eyeI grabbed hold and swam towards the skyThe red string you tiedStill hangs from my wrist,I wear it with prideIt reminds me never to reachFor a heart at the bottom of the seaMy body felt free, but my love it was dead & burnedAs I rose to the surface with the key to returnOn the riverbank you waited for meUnderneath the old olive treeI held a flash of gold in my handThat had lain so long in the mud and the sandYou shed one tear and took it from meThen you threw it back into the seaLetras de cancionesThe red string you tiedStill hangs from my wrist,I wear it with prideIt reminds me never to reachFor a heart at the bottom of the sea
