lyrics

Echos of the summer in your hair.
We stop to catch the light of evening sun.
We swim until the cold reaches our bones.
You write to me a letter of your love.

Oh sing to me of the times we opened our eyes
and started to see that we could see,
and that life it beats our hearts and breathes us to be.
I hold you in a glance, my face in my hands,
my heart in my head, your hand in my hand,
the earth in our blood, our bodies, our land.

Dancing in a tiny living room.
Saying goodbye when it feels too soon.
Weeping till the sun rises again.
Holding both our babies in our arms.
