Sandman
Right before you close your eyes
Whispering yours prayers
When the sandman blows your eyes
I’ll be there
When you wake up in the night
Sounds the second stair
That creaks under the careless foot
I’ll be there
Gather roses while you may
While the bloom is full
For the blossoms soon will fade
And the bloom grow dull
Right before the morning light
Creeps soft upon the sill
When the shadows chase the night
I never will
When your voice is softly heard
Singing in the morning air
But the note does not ring true
I’ll be there
Gather roses while you may
While the bloom is full
For the blossoms soon will fade
And the bloom grow dull
Right before you sleep at night
Closing up the blinds
In the windows black embrace
If you find…
Whispering yours prayers
When the sandman blows your eyes
I’ll be there
When you wake up in the night
Sounds the second stair
That creaks under the careless foot
I’ll be there
Gather roses while you may
While the bloom is full
For the blossoms soon will fade
And the bloom grow dull
Right before the morning light
Creeps soft upon the sill
When the shadows chase the night
I never will
When your voice is softly heard
Singing in the morning air
But the note does not ring true
I’ll be there
Gather roses while you may
While the bloom is full
For the blossoms soon will fade
And the bloom grow dull
Right before you sleep at night
Closing up the blinds
In the windows black embrace
If you find…

The softness approaching me
blinds my eyes to the tenderness of a promise
footsteps i heard were the ones left behind
the morning of that distant land swallowed you
perhaps your goodbye would reach me
when you arrive at the destination
the softness approaching me
was a mirage
you were nowhere to be found
i am with the flowers
same looks of longings
hurry before the mist departs
soft words of love and caress
the wind will sift through her hair
my gentle kisses remain
10 40 pm in Miami and Havana.
