Garota

Garota - Erlend Øye

There's only so much juice

You can suck out of a fruit

And the color changes fast

When an apple's cut in half

Every letter ends somewhere

Better time its steps with care

I'll be the one who waits too long

Turns around and finds it gone

Choose the life you want to live

Give the love you want to give

Take the moment when it comes

Let it lead you let it run

Feel the moisture in the air

Feel her fingers through your hair

Don't be shy when asking to

Be that way you always were meant to

You say that life is long

You took the words

Out of my mind

Life is long and the world is small

Our paths will cross some other time

Given shelter blessed by rain

To our common unknown aim

Through the north side of the town

To the south where we laid down

All the floodlights but no stars

And the people without cars

Where I ask you without sound

Where you answer without words

Do them all as written down

When you close your eyes you find

You can prophesize the steps

You can visualize the maps

If you act upon it when

Theres no trace of doubt within

When your heart is freshly stung

You cannot fail you cannot act wrong

You say that life is long

You took the words

Out of my mind

Life is long and the world is small

Our paths will cross some other time

You say that life is long

You took the words

Out of my mind

Life is long and the world is small

Our paths will cross some other time
