SINTRA

I looked sunset right in the eye

you finally came back for me

I looked sunset right in the eye

and promised to try again

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder,

but some stay distant until they disappear.

That’s a lot of confidence to think you’ll be remembered when your presence isn’t here.

I care more about tangibility

I can’t embody you though a screen

Words are great but they are nothing more if actions are not layered in-between

Light the wheel & turn it round & round

We don’t wanna go home

Take a seat and watch the sun

You’ll never want to go home

Step onto the sand and watch the waves from a safe distance

Roll up your skirt so it doesn’t get wet

This is where Kings came to rest

so pardon me as I bide here

If I stand on the edge of the earth, will I dare myself to jump in?

Do I prefer to watch the waves or would I rather they bathe me?

Wash me clean, wash me new again

Show me something beautiful

May my dreams be a place of solace

May my soul be redeemable.

Palace on this hill

Hide me from the woes of the world

Protect me from what lies beneath my feet

Grant me a place to sleep, to relieve to feast

Shine so bright on the days I can’t see the sun

remind me that sunset still exists

Restore magic in my heart and fresh air in my lungs

Make my eyes fill with laughter again

Make my body build back it’s strength to soar

Rehabilitate me

I prayed to see something real

I woke up to sunrise in Bélgica

I prayed to see something real

I stumbled into sunset, my Sintra
