Morning sunshine, spell of wonder
how to disapear in your crowling chamber, outside your dreams
follow me dear heart
so long as never, sitting beneath the orchard

Your days are all through dying,
they gave all their ghosts away,
so kiss close all your wounds and call living life a day.

For the planets gravitate around you,
and the stars shower down around you,
and the angels in heaven adore you,
and the saints all stand and applaud you.

Mientras camino estas calles angostas
que un millon de pies pasaron detras mio
con la guitarra en la mano
me doy cuenta que nadie me conoce

Estoy en las paginas de tu libro
el mar esta tragandose las montaƱas
con la lluvia en mi cara
no hay lugar que sea para mi

Voy a ir corriendo hacia vos
por que he sido capturado una vez mas

Pero ahora las calles estan vacias
y todo lo que dije lo quice decir
tras cancion tras cancion tras cancion

ahora estoy hecho de polvo y arsiya
en la calle los chicos se detienen y miran
y no se si veran los milagors o las alturas a las que quise llegar
o si van a romper las hojas del libro para encender un fuego

Bajo el arbol de lima veo al hombre del bote que se aleja
por cada respiro mio, y por cada cosa que se
hay una mano que me protege
y tan pronto de olvidaste de mi,
ya te olvidaste de mi cancion?

It was the dirty end of winter
Along the loom of the land
When I walked with sweet Sally
Hand upon hand

And the wind it bit bitter
For a boy of no means
With no shoes on his feet
And a knife in his jeans

Along the loom of the land
The mission bells peeled
From the tower at Saint Mary's
Down to Reprobate Fields

And I saw that the world
Was all blessed and bright
And Sally breathed softly
In the majestic night

O baby please don't cry
And try to keep
Your little hand upon my shoulder
Now go to sleep

The elms and the poplars
Were turning their backs
Past the rumbling station
We followed the tracks

We found an untrodden path
And followed it down
The moon in the sky
Like a dislodged crown

My hands they burned
In the folds of her coat
Breathing milky white air
From deep in her throat

O baby please don't cry
And try to keep
Your little head upon my shoulder
Now go to sleep

I told Sally in whispers
I'll never bring you harm
Her breast it was small
And warm in my palm

I told her the moon
Was a magical thing
That it shone gold in winter
And silver in spring

And we walked and walked
Across the endless sands
Just me and my Sally
Along the loom of the land

O baby please don't cry
And try to keep
Your little head upon my shoulder
Now go to sleep
