in the middle of my life
a tree stands
I have no eyes, I have no hands
among all people
I'm learning to recognize your steps
between all the sounds
I'm learning to recognize your voice
in all its shades
between all indicated touches
I'm learning to recognize your true touch
such a feeling, so such
among the reflections of strangers' eyes
I'm learning to look into yours,
into yours only
because there is my security
and the depth of my being
I'm sinking very very slowly
I'm learning to see even though I can't see
I'm learning to feel the words I can't hear
'cause to be without you, no more I can't be
when I can't find you
and everything keeps changing
and you can't rely on anything
and certainties are ending
I look through closed lids into your eyes
I know you are with me
like a tree
in the middle of my life
it's just inside
such a strong feeling
in the middle of my life
how to be a woman
how to be a wife
such a strong feeling
like a tree
in the middle of my life
stay and be
