Lisbon

I keep a photo of you in my heart
No one can take it away
On our honeymoon
When you were kneeling
In the cathedral of Lisbon
(and after lighting a red plastic candle
And quietly praying for the crippled
And probably praying for me
And for the marathon runners)
You said
«Love is a boat and we’re in it
Change is a sea and we’re on it»
And I wept
‘cause I had kept you away from my world
I thought it was best to be silent
But there on the cold cathedral floor
I knew that you had always lived on my island
I keep a photo of you in my heart
No one can take it away
On the back it says:
«Love is a boat and we’re in it
Change is a sea and we’re on it»
