No memories, no plans, just empty days full of headaches Sour apples on the window sill, sour grapes with no seeds Bought in sterile supermarkets where everything is half-price Wilting in the halflight of ***** windows and paintchips Smile with me, Maria, the day is almost done, We can dip our hands in the canal, wash it away Carry me where you will, among the brambles and reeds Let me sleep in your arms, just hold me, please
