There’s a girl in a quiet room across the sea... She doesn’t even know what she does to me Just talking to the air tonight Hoping the wind carries it to her She lives close to the park where the city meets the sky With a restless, brilliant mind and a fire in her eye The world outside her window can be heavy, dark, and cold But she paints the room in colors that the shadows cannot hold She drops a clever punchline just to clear a heavy room A sudden burst of April breaking through the winter gloom And she uses her wit like a beautiful shield To hide all the tremors she refuses to yield She thinks she’s just surviving just getting by But she looks like a revolution under a stormy sky Oh, she got a springtime living deep inside her eyes A certain kind of green that takes the morning by surprise She doesn’t need a spotlight or a grand performance space She’s just as lovely in the ordinary as she is dressed up in lace And she walks with a courage that can bring a man to his knees Yeah, she’s everything beautiful blowing through the trees You should see the way she moves when the daylight starts to fade The quiet perseverance in every choice she’s made She’s as sharp as a diamond intelligent and deep With a laugh that wakes the magic when the world has gone to sleep And I sit here completely dumbstruck forgetting what to say While she shrugs it off so casually and smiles the awe away Just a girl in Kyiv... With a smile that makes the world slow down I’m just singing to the air tonight Hoping she hears the sound Yeah, .. there she goes again Santi Flores
