"Jobim Medley" lyrics

"Jobim Medley"

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I look at me collection
Just one more sonnet
Another photo em branco e preto
A maltratar meu coração

How insensitive
I must have seemed
When he told me that he loved me
How unmoved and cold
I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely
What was I to say
What can you say when a love affair is over

Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window that looks out on mountain
I, who was lost and lonely
Believing life was only
A bitter, tragic joke have found with you
The meaning of existence, oh, my love

When I saw you first, the time was half past three
When your eyes met mine it was eternity
By now we know the wave is on it's way to be
Just catch the wave, don't be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream
Together

A stick, a stone, it's the end of the road
It's the rest of a stump, it's a little alone
It's a sliver of glass, it is life, it's the Sun
It is night, it is death, it's a trap, it's a gun

The oak when it blooms, a fox in the brush
The knot in the wood, the song of a thrush
The wood of the wind, a cliff, a fall
A scratch, a lump, it is nothing at all

It's the wind blowing free, it's the end of the slope
It's a beam it's a void, it's a hunch, it's a hope
And the river bank talks of the waters of march
It's the end of the strain, it's the joy in your heart
