território desconhecido

Territory

As the feather of a poet glides swiftly

on the white
of a sheet, we may aswell let ourselves
glide swiftly through the years
on the blue
of the tides
come and going as we come
as we go
hardening the beaten bones
through the turmoil of the days
but in the end it all comes
down to
the evidence
that all rights and all wrongs
just come with the
territory!

Can we tell if we see it

that the goods are there

before us

shine so bright

it's so blinding

waiting for a better chance

but we all know ev'ry swell

just won't last eternity

ageing bones

hardened skin

just climb aboard and

feel the stoke

despite all ups and all downs

water flowing will keep us going

letra de Luís Nascimento para música de João Rios
