lyrics

Verse 1
Madrugada ja rompeu
Na minha casa de azul
Viajeiro-rei sou eu
Mas sou preso deste mundo

Pause (Turnaround)

Verse 2
Madrugada ja rompeu
Soltando o vento do oeste
Montei num cavalo branco
E ja parti pro este

Pause (Turnaround)

Verse 3
O sol ficava alto
Um astro perdido no ar
O cavalo abreu alas
E ja cruzamos o mar

Interlude

Verse 4
Pasamos sete casas de pedra
Seis cidades de sal
Ouvi a chamada da minha casa
No som do berimbau

Chorus
Sete casas (4x)

Outro
Sete casas
I’m always home, but I’m always on the run (4x)
