Mallu Magalhães - The Last Time I Saw You (Live 2009) lyrics

[Verse 1: Helio Flanders & Mallu Magalhães] The 1st time I saw you I did try hard to burn my eyes Life was but a sad dream I was but a sad breath You were something like sand When sunlight hits the sea [Verse 2: Helio Flanders & Mallu Magalhães] The 2nd time I saw you I was about to hit the road I asked "Would you wait for me?" You said "Life ain't a highway" Better if we'd been born As siamese songbirds [Verse 3: Helio Flanders & Mallu Magalhães] The 3rd time I saw you We went to the zoo And all steady hot beers, sorrowful monkeys Big eyes laughing Wish I had not held hands [Verse 4: Helio Flanders & Mallu Magalhães] The 4th time I saw you It was like I was gonna die 'Cause I was waiting outside And you just had a new girl But you asked me why should I go [Bridge: Helio Flanders, Mallu Magalhães & both] Son, son, won't you come along? We have no time for another song, song, song Won't you sing along? We have no sea, child [Verse 5: Helio Flanders & Mallu Magalhães] The 5th time I saw you He was traveling abroad And your eyes, they were not here You-- you just made new friends While I tried to stop with cigarettes [Verse 6: Helio Flanders & Mallu Magalhães] The 6th time I saw you I was completely insane For the whisky I had drunk For all the d** I'd taken Gimme one way you will realize [Verse 7: Helio Flanders & Mallu Magalhães] The 7th time I saw you You were married again And if I had just once kissed you Things wouldn't be the same Surely the sky'd be different [Verse 8: Helio Flanders & Mallu Magalhães] The 8th time I saw you I was strumming the guitar And your eyes were not for me Your ears were a-bleeding The waiter was blind Please someone blind my eyes [Verse 9: Helio Flanders & Mallu Magalhães] The last time I saw you It was about 10 a.m You approached me in a strange car And finally kissed me Then did wave goodbye Before you disappeared [Outro: Helio Flanders & Mallu Magalhães] Sometimes I ache, babe You should hard enough to stand But our songs they just drown me Coming back from work Having sour breakfast Seasick from your chest
