Fantasma

Gustavo Cerati · Reversiones/Siempre Es Hoy [2003]

Mejor quedarse quieto

y esperar.

Por favor perdona

mi actitud



En caida libre,

no soy libre.

Nubazón, nubazón

pasará.



La hondonada nos dejó

sin caricias

y varias noches sin poder

dormir.



Fatalismo inútil,

ignorar temores.

Me muero por creer

que es posible

Seamos amigos.



O la vida sentirá

aun mas frio

y el fantasma no podrá

dormir.
