Seguimos con el repaso de canciones que probablemente escuchemos la semana que viene en directo en el BBK Live. En esta ocasión le toca el turno a Snow Patrol, que espero que nos regale viejas joyas de anteriores álbumes y ésta de su último disco, Fallen Empires (2011).
Además, siendo como es julio, algunas siempre nos ponemos a recordar ese viaje que nos pegamos a la ciudad de los rascacielos. Y lo que más me gusta de Nueva York es que puedes ir con una maceta en la cabeza y nadie te mirará. De hecho, el propio grupo Snow Patrol se fue a Times Square a cantar esta melodía y pasaron totalmente desapercibidos entre la masa :-D.
Letra:
If you were here beside me
Instead of in New York
If the curve of you was curved on me
I’d tell you that I loved you
Before I even knew you
Cause I loved the simple thought of youIf our hearts are never broken
Well there’s no joy in the mending
There’s so much this hurt can teach us both
Though there’s distance and there’s silence
Your words have never left me
They’re the prayer that I say every day.[estribillo]
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
The lone neon lights
And the heat of the ocean
And the fire that was starting to spark
I miss it all, from the love to the lightning
And the lack of it snaps, me in twoIf you were here beside me
Instead of in New York
Of the arms you said you’d never leave
I’d tell you that it’s simple
And it was only ever thus
There is nowhere else that I belong[estribillo]
Just give me a sign
There’s an end with a beginning
To the quiet chaos driving me backThe lone neon lights
And the warmth of the ocean
And the fire that was starting to go out.
