Undeterred

I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner
For a heart of gold
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching
For a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching
For a heart of gold
And I'm getting old*

Mi Padre
by Alejandro Fernandez

Se van perdiendo en el tiempo
Mis años,
Se van quedando muy lejos!
Ya no me lleva mi padre la mano,
Solamente sus consejos.

Viven en mi los recuerdos de niño
Cuando una estrella deseaba,
Como recuerdo a mi padre!
Que con eso sonreia
Mientras mi madre miraba.

Años que vienen despacio, primero
Con que lentitud avanzan.
Como queria ser grande, recuerdo,
Para no quedarme en casa.
Y acompañar a mi padre muy lejos
Tal vez hasta el fin del mundo!
Porque mi padre era fuerte,
Era muy inteligente,
Era mejor que ninguno!

Hoy ya no quiero que pasen los años,
Porque mi padre ya esta viejo.
Se le han cubierto de arrugas sus manos,
Y de nieve sus cabellos.
Oh! Señor, deten el tiempo te pido!
Porque tu puedes hacerlo!
Porque yo en verdad no entiendo, Dios mio
Porque se nos va lo bueno?

Cuando se cansen un dia tus pasos
Yo quiero ser quien los cuide
Mientras tanto dame el brazo
Y vamos a ver, a ver que vas a decirme?

That's positively alright!

Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night*

I prefer consistent ;)

Mercury
by Counting Crows

She is trapped inside a month of gray
And they take a little every day
She is a victim of her own responses
Shackled to a heart that wants to settle
And then runs away
It's a sin to be fading endlessly
Yeah, but she's alright with me

She is leaving on a walkaway
She is leaving me in disarray
In the absence of a place to be
She stands there looking back at me
Hesitates, and then turns away
She'll change so suddenly
She's just like mercury
Yeah, but she's alright with me

Keep some sorrow in your hearts and minds
For the things that die before their time
For the restlessly abandoned homes
The tired and weary rambler's bones
And stay beside me where I lie
She's entwined in me
Crazy as can be
Yeah, but she's alright with me

The science of love is not easy

I was just guessin’ at numbers and figures
Pullin’ the puzzles apart
Questions of science. Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me, come back to haunt me
Oh when I rush to the start
Runnin’ in circles. Chasin’ our tails
Comin’ back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Aww It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I’m goin’ back to the start*

* The Scientist by Coldplay

Go ahead...I'll follow...

Laughing with your pretty mouth
Laughing with your broken eyes
Laughing with your lover's tongue
In a lullaby

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
Stars go blue, stars go blue, stars go blue*

As a child, I changed my name whenever I was upset

Clementine
by Sarah Jaffe

50 states, 50 lines, 50 crying all the times.
50 boys, 50 lies, 50 I'm gonna change my minds.
So I changed my mind, I changed my mind.
Now I'm feeling different.
We were young, we were young,
we were young we didn't care.
Is it gone? Is it gone? Is it floating in the air?
Changed my mind, I changed my mind,
now I'm feeling different.
All that time, wasted.
I wish I was a little more delicate.
I wish my, I wish my, I wish my, I wish my,
I wish my name was Clementine.
