Serene - Gal Costa

Serene wild and blue

Your skin on nights when all we see

Or hear is the new moon

All of me is lost in you

Sleep on genius

I fear your heart is darker than blue

Or than mine is

Astray, or at peace, askew

Close as a breeze or my own health

I saw you yearn

Afloat in some

Strange wealth

Will I break break down and go to sleep to

At down, serene

Day break lost at sea

You move your lips when someone speaks

My hair sticks to your cheek

If I stare and if I peek

Sleep on genius

I’m near your heart

I climb those steps

Hold my breath in

In peace, on some peak, at peace

Close as the mail, close as the page

Lines thrown away

Alone on some

Great stage

Will I break break down and go to sleep to

At down, serene with you
