Sonata of Tender Ruin

The tape begins with rain on glass

Our names bloom softly,

then they pass (ahhhh)

I wore your letter like a medal Pinned above my broken heart

Every road back to the valley Taught me how to fall apart

Pero sigo, paso lento With a ribbon in my hand

If the past asks me to kneel down I will learn again

to stand

Gold turns blue in my recuerdo

Still I raise it to the sun

Tú y yo, casi eternos But the ending made me run (oh-oh)

Dance with the ache,

corazón

We lost the moon but kept the song

Cry if you must,

then sing along

Bright in the bruise,

we carry on

Ay, ay, corazón

We carry on

Ay,

ay, we carry on

La pena baila, but we're not gone (la-la-la)

You left a flower by the highway I left my anger in

the dust There are saints inside the static Turning sorrow into trust

No me rindo, no me olvido I am tender,

I am steel If the wound becomes a doorway Let the whole

horizon heal

Hold the bowl to the sky

Let it ring where hope survives

All our ghosts become a choir

All our grief becomes a fire (ahhhh)

Dance with the ache,

corazón

We lost the moon but kept the song

Cry if you must,

then sing along

Bright in the bruise,

we carry on

Ay, ay, corazón

We carry on Higher than hurt,

corazón We carry on

Corazón, carry on Softly,

carry on (ahhhh)
