[LUCÍA]
Back then
The men would look and smile at me
Like boys applying for a summer job
But no, I never would respond
The vacancy was taken
Back home
My love would whisper in my ear
Those words, a shelter for a troubled soul
That voice, like sunshine when you're cold
Like water when you're thirsty
And then one morning he was gone
A day went by and he was gone
A month went by and I would
Stand by the window
Holding the baby
Shaking with fear
Then one day I heard it
As real as the sun
That voice in my ear
That's when I realized it
He was invisible
Like a magic trick
Like a miracle
I don't know how he did it
He was gone but he still was there
Back then

Those words, a shelter for a troubled soul

Like water when you're thirsty
And then one morning he was gone
A day went by and he was gone
A month went by and I would
Stand by the window
Holding the baby
Shaking with fear
Then one day I heard it
As real as the sun
That voice in my ear
That's when I realized it
He was invisible
Like a magic trick
Like a miracle
I don't know how he did it
He was gone but he still was there
