Name: Mothers And Wives/Lonely Girls
Duration: P00H04M11S
Description: The broken skin.The lovers autograph.The graffiti of lust.I see those girls grown older now.Enchanted by birds at open windows in summertime,they stop,look up,briefly remember.And other lovers remain preserved in that moment when the news arrived. In that hinterland between education and responsible adulthood.Like it was the end of youth.Like something weightless had been extinguished.

The broken skin.The lovers autograph.The graffiti of lust.I see those girls grown older now.Enchanted by birds at open windows in summertime,they stop,look up,briefly remember.And other lovers remain preserved in that moment when the news arrived. In that hinterland between education and responsible adulthood.Like it was the end of youth.Like something weightless had been extinguished.

lyrics

Lovers fierce and proud
Those who dug their nails in deep
Now mothers and wives
On some ordinary day
Do they stop and think of you

All those lonely girls
Falling weeping to their knees
Lost in threadbare rooms
Knowing that with him they lived
Knowing that the light has gone
