"I lost it" - Lucinda Williams


I think I lost it
Let me know if you come across it
Let me know if I let it fall
Along a back road somewhere
Money can't replace it
No memory can erase it
And I know I'm never gonna find
Another one to compare
Give me some love to fill me up

Give me some time give me some stuff
Give me a sign give me some kind of reason
Are you heavy enough to make me stay
I feel like I might blow away
I thought I was in heaven
But I was only dreamin
I think I lost it
Let me know if you come across it
Let me know if I let it fall
Along a back road somewhere
Money can't replace it
No memory can erase it
And I know I'm never gonna find
Another one to compare


SOLO

I just wanna live the life I please
I don't want no enemies
I don't want nothin if I have to fake it
Never take nothin don't belong to me

Everything's paid for nothing free
If I give my heart
Will you promise not to break it
I think I lost it
Let me know if you come across it
Let me know if I let it fall
Along a back road somewhere
Money can't replace it
No memory can erase it
And I know I'm never gonna find
Another one to compare
Money can't replace it
No memory can erase it
And I know I'm never gonna find
Another one to compare


Del álbum "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" (1998)

Descubrimiento musical a través de los créditos finales de la peli The private lives of Pippa Lee que, afortunadamente, ya había leido en su formato original de novela :) Es una de esas lecturas que me ha removido muchas cosas, que me ha llegado a emocionar sin pertenecer necesariamente a uno de los géneros que pueden sacudir hasta la última de mis fibras. Es una novela valiente, concisa y apasionada sin llegar a la pasión amorosa, sino a la pasión de vivir y ser fiel a una misma.

Creo que lo "he perdido", creo que he perdido el norte. Dame un poco de ti, lléname de amor y dime si pesas tanto como para retenerme. Sólo quiero vivir mi vida, sentirlo todo hasta la médula de mis huesos. Si te doy mi corazón, prometo no romper el tuyo. Creo que he perdido el norte, pero sigo sintiendo algo que el dinero no compra y que la memoria no puede borrar.
