The man outside he works for me, his name is Mariano. He cuts and trims the grass for me he makes the flowers bloom. He says that he comes from a place not far from Guanajuato.
Oh, my job keeps getting easier as time keeps slipping away. I can imitate the brightest light and make your night look just like day. I put some truth in every lie to tickle itching ears.
There's a salt grain tapping on your window. There's a cool breeze blowing off the bay. A warm flame dancing with our shadows. To music playing far a way.
My eyes are dry, my faith is old. My heart is hard, my prayers are cold. And I know how I ought to be. Alive to You and dead to me. . Oh what can be done for an old heart like mine.
