Sad Lisa



CM San Juan Evangelista. Habitación de Jesús. Años 70. Mi amigo era muy aficionado a la música y se había llevado el tocadiscos al colegio. Despues de cenar ibamos a escuchar un poco de música a su cuarto. Cat Stevens era uno de nuestros cantantes preferidos. La tristeza de Lisa le iba bien a nuestra morriña de sentirnos lejos de casa y aquella canción suave y melancolica nos arropaba.


She hangs her head and cries on my shirt.
She must be hurt very badly.
Tell me whats making you sadly?
Open your door, dont hide in the dark.
Youre lost in the dark, you can trust me.
cause you know thats how it must be.

Lisa lisa, sad lisa lisa.

Her eyes like windows, tricklin rain
Upon her pain getting deeper.
Though my love wants to relieve her.
She walks alone from wall to wall.
Lost in a hall, she cant hear me.
Though I know she likes to be near me.
Lisa lisa, sad lisa lisa.

She sits in a corner by the door.
There must be more I can tell her.
If she really wants me to help her.
Ill do what I can to show her the way.
And maybe one day I will free her.
Though I know no one can see her.

Lisa lisa, sad lisa lisa.
Del album "Tea for the Tillermen". 1970
