I am a soul for sale,
Walking inside a maze,
I am a hidden trail,
Lost in myself for days,
It’s not the life I choose,
This is the straw I drew,
It’s not the game I play,
This is the price I pay.

I'm sorry I'm sorry,
For what I've done,
I'm sorry I'm sorry,
For what I've done.

Plans I had all fall through,
The moment that I saw you,
Here we go round again,
Swept up in your whirlwind,
This is the final stand,
Beating me down again,
All my defences fail,
Everything fades away.

I'm sorry I'm sorry,
For what I've done,
I'm sorry I'm sorry,
For what I've done.

Can you hear me knocking?
Can you hear me knocking at your heart?
I can wait patiently at the door,
I could hear you dreaming,
I swear I could hear you dreaming,
And that dream could be real it could come true,
I can wait patiently,
For me and you.

Have you seen the garden,
That ever changing garden,
It blooms and then dies over again,
And that is the way that love, that love can be.

And we never know which way to run,
And we don't care if we can't see the sun,
And we don't know what tomorrow,
What tomorrow brings,
And we don't know much about anything,
But I know this dream could be real.

But everything takes practice,
Experience and wisdom,
A candle that lights up then fades away,
You could be gone tomorrow,
But here today,
Can you hear me knocking?
Can you hear me knocking at your heart?
I can wait patiently at your door.

Fever dreams,
Reminded me,
Of old science fiction,
Shows,
With action sequences,
That made even Jackie Chan,
Seem slow,
And when I woke up,
All alone should I remain or should I go,
But I don't know.

Your sweet tired eyes,
I want to take the weariness away,
I stand with you today,
But should I go or should I stay,
And if I paid off all my debt,
Would I still have something to owe,
But I don't know.

And I don't know,
And I don't know,
Why I love you,
I guess I'll never know.

I want to see you far away,
And I need to have you near,
I want complete security,
And I need a little fear,
And if you tell me to leave,
I might suddenly appear,
I'll never go.

And then early in the morning,
When you're just about wake,
I think of what I never said,
Promises I'll never make,
And then I thank my lucky stars,
As you curse your deadly mistake,
We'll never know.

And I don't know,
And I don't know,
Why I need you,
What the river flows,
And I don't know,
And I don't know,
Why I love you,
I guess I'll never know.

You were over there,
And I needed to be,
As close to something,
That looks like you and me,
That looks like you and me,
Those yellow falling leaves.

That I recall,
They're going south for the winter,
Leaving it all,
With you my life’s just better,
Ohhhh.

You would sit across,
That dusty hall,
And I asked myself some questions,
Can I fly or will I fall,
Can I fly or will I fall,
Can I be with you at all?

And I recall,
Your breath in the cold dark winter,
Leaving it all,
With you my life’s gets better,
Ohhhh.

Erô baba mixoro ero mi baba cujadê 
Erô baba mixoro ero mi baba 
Ijexá toca com agogô, toca com atabaque 
toca com coração


foi vovô quem deu lugar ao batuque feito com amor
disse bem erô babá, som madeira ecoa pelo ar
quem cantava transformou cerejeira em boca de tambor 
quem tocava enfeitiçou pé na terra pé de beira mar

ENG:
it was grandpa who made way for drumming made with love
he said well erô babá, the sound of wood echoes through the air
those who sang turned cherry trees into drums
those who played enchanted feet on the ground and by the sea
