Melquíades

Sneak into town like a broken king Dark of the night hides your face No one waiting for the secrets that you bring Or the memories you chase And your traveling's made you gypsy shrewd Count the years you've been away And now you're back because you didn't like the solitude Death is so lonely that way Well, you haven't slept in weeks child Your memory is vague I'll give you what you need to relieve you from this plague No, you haven't slept in weeks boy Can't recognize a thing The remedy you seek now is the potion that I bring All the notes are there to indicate See them scattered on the floor You wrote them down, they help you with your fate You just can't read them anymore First I take it from my coat Such a simple little vial And once it hits your throat You'll recognize my smile Well, you haven't slept in weeks child Your memory is vague I'll give you what you need to relieve you from this plague No, you haven't slept in weeks boy Can't recognize a thing The remedy you seek now is the potion that I bring So drink, drink, and dream
