Ordinary Love

Ordinary Love

The sea wants to kiss the golden shore

The sunlight warms your skin

All the beauty that’s been lost before

Wants to find us again

I can’t fight you anymore

It’s you I’m fighting for

The sea throws rocks together

But time

Leaves us polished stones

We can’t fall any further

If we can’t feel ordinary love

And we cannot reach any higher

If we can’t deal with ordinary love

Birds fly high in the summer sky

And rest on the breeze

The same wind will take care of you and I

We’ll build our house in the trees

Your heart is on my sleeve

Did you put it there with a magic marker?

For years I would believe

That the world couldn’t wash it away

‘Cause we can’t fall any further

If we can’t feel ordinary love

And we cannot reach any higher

If we can’t deal with ordinary love

Are we tough enough

For ordinary love?

We can’t fall any further

If we can’t feel ordinary love

And we cannot reach any higher

If we can’t deal with ordinary love

We can’t fall any further

If we can’t feel ordinary love

And we cannot reach any higher

If we can’t deal with ordinary love

Tocou à beira-mar numa noite qualquer. O mar nem se via dali, mas ouvia-se... estava presente... que para mim é o quanto baste. Tudo estava presente ali. Todas as cartas estavam na mesa viradas com o que interessa para cima. Nada havia na manga nem para esconder, nem para jogar. Era o que era. Era o que tinha de ser. Fixei a música que dava. Fixei esta porque ouvi outras (que me fizeram até sorrir quando as tive em consciência), mas esta era a banda sonora certa. Não disse nada. Nem havia nada para dizer. O jogo estava aberto... em cima da mesa. Pode ser que fique.
