as performed by Iron and Wine

mierda, hacía años no me hacía llorar feliz una canción... (y sonaba y me llamó Vivian "¿dormías?" "no, no... escuchaba música"... y pienso en mi hermano escuchando a Ilona...)

"I am thinking it's a sign
that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images
and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate
that God himself did make
us into corresponding shapes
like puzzle pieces from the clay

And true, it may seem like a stretch
but its thoughts like this that catch
my troubled head when you're away
when I am missing you to death
when you are out there on the road
for several weeks of shows
and when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great heights,
"come down now", they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away,
"come down now", but we'll stay...

I tried my best to leave
this all on your machine
but the persistent beat it sounded thin
upon listening
and that frankly will not fly
you will hear the shrillest highs
and lowest lows with the windows down
when this is guiding you home

They will see us waving from such great heights,
"come down now", they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away
"come down now", but we'll stay..."

originally by The Postal Service, performed by Iron and Wine: Such Great Heights (2003)

pero, coño, ambas versiones son preciosas.
