Cinco Minutos con Vos

I stood at the kerb trying not to disturb
The dark carnival crew and a glittering voice
Far off there said, "Rejoice"
"As the casualties are but few"

Going to tell you now
Before I forget myself
I could let you loose
But the key won't undo the lock
And the face of the clock
Seemed to [C7]merrily mock
These five minutes with you

Mi padre sabía
Y me lo susurro
Vete a Montevideo y espérame ahí
Por dónde empezar?
Escuchando siempre están
Por cinco minutos o mas
Si te atɾeves

La sirenas lamentan
La plaga que encuentɾan
Las balas caen
Y te harán desaparecer
El faro oscurece hay poca esperanza
Cinco minutos con [C7]vos

The propeller was [Am7]droning, I woke up alone
They opened the door and [Bm]they threw me through
And down I went down, like [F]the twist of a screw
Down into [C7]the silver, above me the blue
And you [A7stood there waiting but you [A7never knew
Five Minutes With You

They can scatter the earth and [Bm]find nothing of worth
Wipe out those years of tɾiangular tears
The colors will fly
And the wild wind will cry I'm stɾapped to [C7]that mast
Knowing they wouldn't last for
Five Minutes With You
