lyrics

In the space we share
Write with me realities I didn't know could be there
Could be there
Many precious things
Vulnerability can show
Oh Esme, sweet Ale, dear Tata

We have gathered here as the end is near
Hurtling forward fast
Deslizar sem parar pelo mar

Treasure what you are
People come and people leave an imprint
In scarlet, eternal
You're a burning star
Flashing bright beneath the spotlight
Esme, sweet Ale, dear Tata

Face the lingering ghost
Pain will pass away
Passing by your way without taking or leaving a trace

I try hard to ease my worried mind
Flowers, and springtime
Light that dances on the wall
I'd give it all, although it's hard
I'll give it on, and on, and on
