INVISIBLE Parvin & Patterson © 2015 When did I become invisible? And why is there no sound? As I walk alone on the cobblestones Of this colonial town When did we become divisible? Ever since you withdrew There's a hole by me where you used to be That the puelche winds blow through Chorus: There's a song you hear at night on the altiplano Playing to the music of the spheres And a glimmer when the moonlight touches your tears When did I become invisible? Like a ghost on the Inca Trail Floating free through the queñua trees I'm their ancient misty veil When did I become expendable? Have I nothing left to give? The Andalusian horse has run his course With just his races to relive (Chorus) When did I become invisible? I'm the wind you lean into The name you hear drifting by your ear Of someone you once knew When will this become unlivable? How long will my penance last? I live in fear I'll never reappear And dissolve into the past There's a song you hear at night on the altiplano Playing to the music of the spheres And there's a song you hear at night on the altiplano Playing to the music of the spheres And a glimmer when the moonlight touches your tears See the glimmer when the moonlight touches your tears... |
