Andei ausente, Santa Helena antiga
E volvi aos poucos como quem retorna
Vim juntar lembranças que andavam perdidas
E botar de novo meus sonhos na forma
Os meus olhos tinham nas retinas casas
Brancas imagens que guardei por tempos
Cerca de pedras, sombra de figueiras
Velhas guerreiras que moldaram ventos
Juntei nas estradas dessas que se vão
Tantas palavras pra cantar pra ti
E continuar aquele verso antigo
Que pelo meio deixei por aqui
Pra quem chega, todo tempo é pouco
Pra estanciar recuerdos que andavam a toa
Feito meu gateado de lombo lavado
Que bebe a distância na água da lagoa
Arreio e esporas se pararam mansas
Junto ao cavalete do mesmo galpão
Memorial do tempo que ainda guarda versos
E a minha história num fogo de chão
Pra quem volta aos poucos como pra ficar
Santa Helena ausente, se a saudade aperta
É achar pousada numa sombra antiga
Na querência amiga de porteira aberta
