Lyrics: Caronte 2025 Podcast: go.ivoox.com/sq/2330386 https://www.youtube.com/@TheCaronteSongbook ======================================== THE SKETCH OF A KISS The mirror tells a story that I’ve never heard before I’m checking all the windows and I’m looking past the door The ribbons in my hair feel like a game for yesterday While the boys out on the corner watch the girls go on their way I feel a sudden rhythm, a heartbeat in the air And I wonder if he’s hiding in the shadows over there And I dream of a summer by the sapphire sea With a love written just for him and me One thousand times I’ve felt it, that first magic kiss A lifetime of sunlight, a moment of bliss I’m building a kingdom in the clouds of my mind Waiting for the treasure that I’m destined to find They offer me the moonlight in a minute or a mile They’re chasing for a shadow with a quick and hollow smile A touch beneath the streetlamps, a promise made of glass Just a temporary fever that they’re hoping won’t pass But I’m looking for the ocean, not a puddle in the rain I’m looking for the fire, not the flicker of the vain And I dream of a summer by the sapphire sea With a love written just for him and me One thousand times I’ve felt it, that first magic kiss A lifetime of sunlight, a moment of bliss I’m building a kingdom in the clouds of my mind Waiting for the treasure that I’m destined to find The autumn leaves are falling and the winter’s getting cold The stories in the novels are the only ones I’m told My friends are busy dancing to a fast and empty beat While I’m still silver-plating every stranger that I meet I’m saving all my secrets for a heart that’s yet to show In a world that’s moving fast, I’m the only one who’s slow I’m still dreaming of summers by the sapphire sea practiced every word and every look for him to see The calendar is turning and the stars are out of place I’m getting tired of searching for a ghost without a face My sketch of a kiss Is a lonely piece of art Come and claim your place Inside my waiting heart By Caronte
