Rua Nova

Rua Nova


another day walking through you
letting you take me to a new place
same path but different end
what do you have for me today?

Sky is cloudy, dark and closed
a storm is over me, strong and deep
but I don't seem to mind
I let you guide me, fearless

the road is made of stones
the way it has trees along it
tiny houses, chimneys burning
the smell of wood, of the grass

little farms, little lands
so small and so comfy
I don't miss my place now
happy people on the windows

I walk down Rua Nova
where will you take me today?
My feets walking on the stones
I smell jasmines around

the parfum guides me
I don't see where are you now
behind or in front of me
I let my mind fly, and it does

come out, brainstorming
it makes me good, forget the rain
coming back, hoping to see you
there are you all new, as each day

ideas that fly through my mind
them come to live through ink
it's the blood you have, gentlemen
your kinderness inspires me the best

coming back the rain begins
it falls down, wetting my bones
it eases my pain, makes be born again
my sight is blurry, for the drops on my glasses

I know I won't get lost, nor teared
it purifies me, it makes me new
it gives me wisdom, your path I follow
each time I go through Rua Nova, I born again
