lyrics

My heart is full
Like the valley streams
Sink your head into the water
Leave your clothes under the tree
Bathe like a lizard on the smooth, white rocks
While the sun was falling
The moon hit the mountain tops

In Observatory Valley
Lies part of my heart
In Observatory valley
Sleep the southern stars

My dreams are growing
Like the grapes below
Entwined with people
That I came to know
The wind explores you
In your mortal skin
Soul like a distance, unravelling

Here you were born,
Only later you disclosed
As sun set on your balcony
In the Valparaísian cerros
Shadow of the mountain
Dying purple light
Outliving its moment
In the doorway of your eyes
