Privacy

In the letter that I wrote you I gave you privacyEn la carta que te escribí te di privacidad

Took my arching ecstacy and nailed itTomé mi éxtasis arqueado y lo clavé

To a tree on the west side of townEn un árbol en el lado oeste de la ciudad

I didn't know what grew thereNo sabía qué crecía allí

I can see you standing around on those lacy bridgesPuedo verte parado en esos puentes encajados

And was it you that held me?¿Fuiste tú quien me sostuvo?

I want to remember as if it wasQuiero recordarlo como si lo fuera

And if shadow covers my pathY si una sombra cubre mi camino

Will you be my memory?¿Serás mi recuerdo?

People come and people know their bodies in the lightLa gente viene y la gente conoce sus cuerpos a la luz

So I let you go honestly, quietly through the dayAsí que te dejo ir honestamente, en silencio a través del día

As the sun gives to nightMientras el sol da paso a la noche

I didn't know what was trueNo sabía qué era verdad

Are those wolf teeth in your smile,¿Son esos dientes de lobo en tu sonrisa,

Or will I be holding you? OrO te estaré abrazando? O

Was it you that held me?¿Fuiste tú quien me sostuvo?

I want to remember as if it wasQuiero recordarlo como si lo fuera

And if a shadow covers my pathY si una sombra cubre mi camino

Will you be a memory?¿Serás un recuerdo?
