Like Water, Like Wind

My memories of you

Lunch in Le Blonde, speaking of the Amazon

Or navigating through your hometown Ipanema

Walking on the beach

Holding our shoes

You described just how amused

Surrender to you, wave

In one piece, no problema

My memories of you

Always they rise from my heart up to my eyes

Unquestionably blue

Intervals of remembrance

And now the ghost to end the movie

Shadow for you is a sea, enters again

Why do we flow like water for a while

Only to disappear like wind?

My memories of you

Here in New York, you at your piano fort

In terms of dreams-come-true

For me, the culmination

When I replay those tapes

Hearing you laugh, I'm inside the photograph

The songs we wrote that June

Like one long conversation

My memories of you

Always they rise from my heart up to my eyes

Somehow suffused with blue

Like your own happy sadness

And now the ghost to end the movie

Shadow for you is a sea

Enters again, you said yourself

You flow like water for a while

Only to disappear like wind

Water we travel on in search of love

Like times of lifetime

Wind which returns our soul

To that far country at the river's end

Like water, like wind

Where time, for once, suspends

Like water, like wind

Till we begin again

My memories of you
