The Tower of Montevideo
Has many rooms
Some of them are empty
Since I left you (since I left you)
Standing in silhouette
By the long window
Drinking coffee
And scrutinized by the black cat
Who lies on the day bed and abandons the world
As the hours slide off the page
Like clouds somewhere else

In the Tower of Montevideo

Once there was cinema
And we had parties
And the light at the top of the tower could reach
Argentina (since I left you)
Where they talk behind doors of new worlds
And faraway places
And the portrait of the artist
Was kept down in the basement
In the Tower of Montevideo

The Tower of Montevideo

I can hear music
I can hear footsteps
Ghost of the empty room
Montevideo

In the Tower of Montevideo
