[00:21.28]Do you remember when you walked with me
[00:23.47]Down the street into the square
[00:27.65]How the women selling rosemary
[00:32.33]Pressed the branches to your chest
[00:37.32]Promised luck and all the rest
[00:39.62]And put their fingers in your hair
[00:42.12]I had met you just the day before
[00:52.54]Like an accident of fate
[00:56.54]In the window there behind your door
[01:02.03]How i wanted to break in
[01:06.27]To that room beneath your skin
[01:08.52]But all that would have to wait
[01:11.20]In the carmen of the martyrs
[01:14.95]With the statues in the courtyard
[01:17.01]Whose heads and hands were taken
[01:20.00]In the burden of the sun;
[01:22.12]I had come to meet you
[01:24.62]With a question in my footsteps
[01:26.68]I was going up the hillside
[01:29.18]And the journey just begun
[01:31.61]My sister says she never dreams at night
[01:41.34]There are days when i know why;
[01:45.34]Those possibilities within her sight
[01:49.89]With no way of coming true
[01:54.76]Some things just don't get through
[01:57.69]Into this world although they try
[01:59.94]In the carmen of the martyrs
[02:03.81]With the statues in the courtyard
[02:05.68]Whose heads and hands were taken
[02:08.43]In the burden of the sun;
[02:10.61]I had come to meet you
[02:13.48]With a question in my footsteps
[02:15.66]I was going up the hillside
[02:18.16]And the journey just begun
[02:20.59]All i know of you
[02:27.46]Is in my memory
[02:29.71]All i ask is you
[02:36.07]Remember me
