E agora páro o carro e uma vastidão imensa de horizontes. A estrada são duas linhas infinitas a desaparecer na aridez ao longe. Saio para o ar quente parado e o mundo suspenso a toda a volta. Subitamente, no carro, o rádio enrouquece a voz de Lucinda Williams – “I am waiting for your essence”. E é aqui que eu quero ficar - com toda esta luz, todo este silêncio. Todo este céu.

Obviamente


E também obviamente uma grande canção.

John Mayer, "Slow Dancing In A Burning Room"

It's not a silly little moment
It's not the storm before the calm
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love that we've been working on

Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel you in my arms
Nobody's gonna come and save you
We pulled too many false alarms

We're going down
And you can see it too
We're going down
And you know that we're doomed
My dear
We're slow dancing in a burning room

I was the one you always dreamed of
You were the one I tried to draw
How dare you say it's nothing to me?
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw

I'll make the most of all the sadness
You'll be a bitch because you can
You try to hit me just to hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can't understand

We're going down
And you can see it too
We're going down
And you know that we're doomed
My dear
We're slow dancing in a burning room


Go cry about it - why don't you?
Go cry about it - why don't you?
Go cry about it - why don't you?

My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
Burning room
Burning room

Don't you think we oughta know by now?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
