The man in black

Se fosse vivo, faria 74 anos hoje. Mais recentemente, ressuscistou, de certa maneira, através de Joaquin Phoenix e do filme "Walk the line". Achei que o deveria recordar neste blog, de uma maneira muito singela: "Till kingdom come", última faixa do mais recente Coldplay, "X & Y", foi escrita para a Cash, e teria sido cantada por ele, não tem o músico norte-americano morrido. Fica portanto a letra da canção e uma sugestão para quem lê estas linhas: relacionem-na com a vida do próprio Cash.

Steal my heart and hold my tongue
I feel my time, my time has come
Let me in, unlock the door
I never felt this way before

And the wheels just keep on turning
The drummer begins to drum
I don’t know which way i’m going
I don’t know which way i’ve come

Hold my head inside your hands
I need someone who understands
I need someone, someone who hears
For you i’ve waited all these years

For you i’d wait til kingdom come
Until my day, my day is done
And say you’ll come and set me free
Just say you’ll wait, you’ll wait for me

In your tears and in your blood
In your fire and in your flood
I hear you laugh, I heard you sing
I wouldn’t change a single thing

And the wheels just keep on turning
The drummers begin to drum
I don’t know which way i’m going
I don’t know what i’ve become

For you i’d wait til kingdom come
Until my days, my days are done
Say you’ll come and set me free
Just say you’ll wait, you’ll wait for me
Just say you’ll wait, you’ll wait for me
Just say you’ll wait, you’ll wait for me
