Durante caminhada em um fim de tarde nublado e chuvoso, depois de ouvir novamente, decorridos muitos anos, os primeiros versos de “If I Could Change Your Mind”
I prefer to spend my time in solitary ways, keeping myself to myself…
A inspiração para um breve haicai:
nenhum cinismo
a sós comigo mesmo
ventriloquismo

Três Coisas 
If I Could Change Your Mind
Música de Alan Parsons e Eric Woolfson e vocal de Lesley Duncan
I prefer to spend my time in solitary ways
Keeping myself to myself
Can’t pretend that it’s been easy since you went away
Living with somebody else
If you should change your mind
If you would turn around and look behind
If you could see me the way I used to be
At the risk of bringing back the sorrow and despair
I would do it all again
Holding on to memories and pretending not to care
Knowing that the show was soon to end
If only I could change your mind
If only you would change
If I had the chance I’d do it all again
I would do it all again
I remember windy shores on melancholy days
Drifting along with the tide
And the joy of simple things and ordinary ways
Taking it all in my stride
If you should change your mind
If I could let you see what lies behind
If you could see need me the way it used to be
Even for a moment of the happy times we shared
Living in my dreams since then
At the risk of losing only castles in the air
Come with me and we can try again
Oh, if I could change your mind
Can’t pretend it’s not been lonely since you went away
Oh, if only I could change your mind
