La magia del mundo (2)

Conozco otras canciones sobre (contra) el suicidio (un suicidio), pero ninguna me parece tan perfecta.

Son cosas tan sencillas como éstas de las que habla Lucinda (incluida la música, claro: the beat, the rhythm, the blues...), junto con muchísimas otras, las que constituyen la magia del mundo, las que hacen que vivir, sin duda, merezca la pena.




See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
The breath from your own lips, the touch of fingertips
A sweet and tender kiss
The sound of a midnight train, wearing someone's ring
Someone calling your name
Somebody so warm cradled in your arm
Didn't you think you were worth anything
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world


Millions of us in love, promises made good
Your own flesh and blood
Looking for some truth, dancing with no shoes
The beat, the rhythm, the blues
The pounding of your heart's drum together with another one
Didn't you think anyone loved you
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world

Lucinda Williams
