La Ninja: Amor and other dreams of Manzanita (2006)

Amor

In lives past, we’ve crossed paths so many times before.
Here and now, among this crowd, we meet again somehow.
Again again again again again again.

In your eyes, I recognize, I see an open door.
I have known you, and you have known me, and we can know much more,
And more, and more, and more and more and more and more.

We are not strangers; we’ve had all eternity to arrive now at this moment.
Our syncronicity, it is a mystery. We must investigate our union.

In lives past, we’ve crossed paths so many times before.
Here and now, among this crowd, we meet again somehow.
Again again again again again again.
Here is my hand. I know the way.
I’ll hold you close. You lead us away.
A way, a way, a way a way, I know a way.
We could take this time, submit to the sublime, lose ourselves in each other.
Forget the circumstance, fall into a romance, after which there will be no other.

In your eyes, I recognize, I see an open door.
I have known you, and you have known me, and we can know much more,
And more, and more, and more and more and more and more.

Ok, I understand
That we can never be
More than a moment,
More than a midsummer’s dream,
A page torn out and crumpled,
A memory fading.
It’s a shame with life so short.
Knock knock. I opened my door.
Oh to be understood
here in the neighborhood!
Holy communion,
brother and sisterdom
Is all that’s left for us.
So get back on the bus.

She, I know her name,
Must be quite something.
Oh to hold you
In my arms all night.
I never told you
The things I thought I might.
Oh well, I’ll keep it to myself
For there will be many rainy days.
Extreme happiness
brings extraordinary pain.
Me in my fortress
bleed just the same.
It’s over us.
This moment will pass.

Kokoro kokoro kokoro kokoro kokoro kokoro kokoro koko
Break break break my broken heart.
Take take take my open arms.
Kokoro kokoro kokoro kokoro kokoro kokoro kokoro koko

You come to me
in dreams. We’re so hungry.
Ghost, I love you.
Wherefore art thy mate?
Here inside me
Wait until I wake.
And don’t forget your watch.
And close the screen door latch.
