She took vows of silence every new moon
And I wait like an idiot for the whale to spit me out
I pray laughing on my knees to all the saints of Florence
And singing at night in my little bed I worship them
But I know very well
That it won't help
Because I know very well
That it's only with you that I can do it
I know, I know, I'm an angel, especially when it suits me
And I am beautiful like a mermaid
The first Wednesday of the month
And on the day that the sun doesn't rise
I will stop loving you
But that will never happen
Because I know very well
That it would be useless
Because I know very well
That it's only with you that I can do it
If only I had been happy
Instead of reading San Antonio
Or Portuguese science fiction
I wouldn't be here today
And on the night when the stars stop shining
I would stop dreaming
But that will never happen
Because I know very well
That it would be useless
Because I know very well
That it's only with you that I can do it
Yes, I know very well
That it would be useless
Because I know very well
That it's only with you that I can do it
