Maja


In the hell's kitchen
there was a guardian
fragile to the eye
with the strength of an ox
a ball on her feet
a key on her teeth

She saved me from the flames
that covered the walls
she saved me from the blaze
that I set upon myself

The map to the funfair
lights all the stands
with a single smile
brain of every adventure
guides the squads
with only one hand

And there's never a spot
of vanity on her face
and there's never a spark
of mean on her gaze

Oh yes
she's the one
I want beside
my springs and falls
she's the one
I need to avoid
the thorns and nails

Trains to the north
plains to the south
days at the pubs
nights at the parks
food and wine
words and laughs
noon's and eve's
weeks after weeks

So now
Who's gonna hear the secrets and tales?
who's gonna walk me through the sun and the rain?
Now sing
I'll see you when I fall
I'll see you when I crawl
I'll see you when I rise

Oh yes
she's the one
I want beside
my springs and falls
she's the one
I need to avoid
the thorns and nails

Call her
My hell's kitchen guardian
Call her
my heart's blaze firefighter
Call her
my dearest friend
