Quiero ser luz
Se me esta haciendo la noche
En la mitad de la tarde.
No quiero volverme sombras,
Quiero ser luz y quedarme.
Me fui quemando en la noche
Siguiendo la misma senda
Siempre atrás de una guitarra
Apagué la última estrella...
No sé que dicha busqué.
Qué quimera...
Qué zamba me quitó el sueño.
Qué noche mi primavera.
Hoy que me pongo a pensar
Solo converso en silencio
Me miran los ojos de antes
Viejos de ausencia y de tiempo.
La misma mirada siempre,
De aquellos años tan lejos
Por fin me duermo en la noche
Que alumbra el lucero viejo.
