I'm in the silence that's suddenly heard
I'm in the silence that's suddenly heard
After the passing of a car
After the passing of a car
I'm in the silence that's suddenly heard
I'm in the silence that's suddenly heard
After the passing of a car
After the passing of a car
I'm in the silence that's suddenly heard
I'm in the silence that's suddenly heard
After the passing of a car
After the passing of a car
Spaces grow wide about me
Spaces grow wide about me
Spaces grow wide about me
Spaces grow wide about me
If you look from your window at the morning star
If you look from your window at the morning star
You won't see me
You won't see me
You won't see
You won't see
You won't see me
You won't see me
You'll only see
You'll only see
You won't see me
You won't see me
You'll only see
You'll only see
You won't see me
You won't see me
You'll only see
You'll only see
You won't see me
You won't see me
You'll only see that you can't see very far
You'll only see that you can't see very far
You won't see me
You won't see me
You won't see
You won't see
You won't see me
You won't see me
You'll only see
You'll only see
You won't see me
You won't see me
You'll only see
You'll only see
You won't see me
You won't see me
You'll only see
You'll only see
You won't see me
You won't see me
You'll only see
You'll only see
You won't see me
You won't see me
You'll only see
You'll only see
You won't see me
You won't see me
You'll only see
You'll only see
You won't see me
You won't see me
You won't see
You won't see
God spoke to me
God spoke to me
You're my son
You're my son
And my eyes swept the horizon away
And my eyes swept the horizon away
Quem tem vovó, pelanca só
Whoever has a grandma, just shines
Quem tem vovó, pelanca
Whoever has a grandma, shines
