São seis horas no meu coração
No coreto da alma visito a canção
E a lembrança me acalma a saudade do chão
Que eu corria na pressa de andar pela vida
E a conversa fluía com a sensação
De eu ter sempre o destino na palma da mão
Mas eu era um menino rodando um peão
Que girava no tempo e dançava
No vento da imaginação
Velhos retratos que 'inda carrego comigo
E onde sempre me abrigo
Do turbilhão que veio me envolver
Velhos amigos que eu 'inda guardo no peito
Ah, tempo, não tomo jeito
Fiquei por lá
Lá sou feliz...
