Life Passes
Versions: #2I watch faces filing by.
I watch passing regrets.
As many dreams passing
that I left in the margins
when I needed to dream.
I have seen dissolving mirages
that will never return.
I've seen again as many journeys
ending in shipwrecks
just as they began.
Life passes
and I've watched none of it passing.
Life passes
I had only borrowed it.
Time passes
I didn't know how to stop it
and I simply forgot to love.
I resisted too many words
when I needed to speak.
But is it perhaps a sign of courage?
To mark the pages
without being satisfied.
Life passes
and I've watched none of it passing.
Life passes
I had only borrowed it.
Time passes
I didn't know how to stop it
and I simply forgot to love.
I don't want to believe without doubting
I don't want to believe
that the way is shut
closed once and for all.
I want to see where to go,
give myself the right
that every man can give himself
to leave everything behind.
Life passes
Time is pressing
Life passes
I've seen none of it passing
all erased.
Life passes
and I want to watch it pass.
Life passes
I want to see you borrow it.
Time is pressing
you will know how to stop it.
Time ceases
but at least I have loved.
Life passes
and it can pass well.
Life passes
and I want to pass it
with you.
