Pebble Dance (Live with Strings)

Two bodies froze as being torn apart

Paralysed, urging days to stop

So we could close our eyes

Break the clock, remake the history

Move the time, exchange the newborns

Switch the ages, write the story

Fourteen years ago

Why does Monday come?

Burning our dreams down

Hold me strongly

And let’s give an end

To those days when I could smell

Foreign perfume on my side of the bed

Wiping old prints and taking frames apart

Losing a home so we could build together

A tiny one

From ruins and shattered glass

Drawing a line behind the life

That she had dreamt about

Shaken by dark, letting me

Hold her broken heart

(Couldn’t keep going, yet couldn’t stop)

Not looking back, hand in hand

We learnt the Pebble Dance

Echoing steps wrote the symphony

To our days

(So we could sway and never stop,

No need to close our eyes)

Break the clock, remake the history

Move the time, exchange the newborns

Switch the ages, write the story

Fourteen years ago

Why does Monday come?

Burning our dreams down

Hold me strongly

And show me how to dance
