[English]
I carry stitched wounds in my chest
Memory counts still fresh
Fresh bread on the table
The smell rises up the stairs
I wake up and see nothing
Time is your home
...
I carry in the fold of my skirt
Zig-zag stitched
Black coffee and a cigarette
Your singing and laughter
Echoing through the house
Time is your home
...
If the wind took you, then time is your home
If the wind took you, then time is your home
...
I don’t carry pain or sadness
I lay the cards on the table
And the wound heals
Every sorrow eventually passes
And love becomes certainty
Time is your home
...
If the wind took you, then time is your home
...
If the wind took you, then time is your home
...
I won’t forget
I won’t forget
I will celebrate you
I won’t forget
I will celebrate you
I won’t forget
I will celebrate you
...
