COME TO ME NOW
I raise my glass, declare my name
I pledge and vow, I won’t betray
I’ll be so proud, and willing too
you’ll see such dreams come true
Sure I’m drunk but feel so great
my mind’s going round the world astray
but I see so bright the beauty in you
and see all things shine too tonight
Come to me now, my love, come to me
into these arms and lay, down on me
Melt as a sea wave, quiet, come to me
wave of the sea so bright, that comes to me now
One last glass, it’s not too late
Last few talks then walk away
It seems to me I can’t stand no more
please don’t bring me home tonight
Come to me now, my love, come to me
into these arms and lay, down on me
Melt as a sea wave, quiet, come to me
wave of the sea so bright, that comes to me now
Tell your secrets (in my ear), whispers and moans (whisper now close)
come so close (for soon I’ll sure), for soon I’ll forget (I’ll forget), forget (forget)
Come to me now, my love, come to me now
Alzo il mio bicchiere, dichiaro il mio nome Mi impegno e prometto, non tradirò Sarò così fiero, e volenteroso Vedrai che certi sogni si avverano Certo che sono ubriaco ma mi sento così bene La mia mente sta girando a caso attorno al mondo Ma vedo così luminosa la bellezza in te e vedo che anche tutte le cose splendono questa sera Vieni da me adesso, amore mio, vieni da me in queste braccia e sdraiati, su di me Sciogliti come un onda del mare, silenziosa, vieni da me Un’onda del mare così luminosa, che viene da me adesso Un ultimo bicchiere, non è troppo tardi Poche ultime chiacchiere prima di andar via Mi sembra di non riuscire più a stare in piedi ti prego non portarmi a casa stasera Vieni da me adesso, amore mio… Raccontami i tuoi segreti (in un orecchio) sussurri e gemiti (sussurra ora vicino) vieni ora vicino (perché presto io sicuramente) perché presto dimenticherò (dimenticherò) dimenticherò (dimenticherò)____________________________________________________________________________________
IN THE AIR
I did not suffer. There’s no pain
Cut like flowers I looked the same
See these colours in the sun, seems they’re having so much fun
I lost you somewhere, I was not aware
At the height of myself, you left me there
And I wondered about my love that was torn and cried for more
was it somewhere in the air?
And you’re scared, and you’re scared
thoughts come stinging in the air
Who’ll come winning on your door, spreading flowers in the air?
And you say to yourself
while you’re breathing in the air
that you’ve wasted so much love, but it’s still here in the air
Hold me my love hold me tight and kiss me so
sweet your lips of tears tonight like years ago
Dress up, hurry, for the dream, that was never lost for real
and it’s back here in the air
And I’m safe, and I’m safe
come back breathing in the air
I come winning on your door, spreading flowers in the air
And you say to yourself
while you’re breathing in the air
that you’ve wasted so much love, but it’s still here in the air

HEAVEN IS LOST
Another day, light on my face, untouched your pillow
Noise of the street, I get on my feet, I feel bound and weak and
I miss your love
Evidence hurts, evidence hurts
I watch myself, heaven is lost, heaven is lost
I wash my face, another day, another ordinary day
then more
I pick up my bag, step down the stairs, it’s rainy weather
I lower my hat and think of our last few talks together
I lost you so, all had been told, secrets unfold
and then was late, heaven was lost, heaven was lost
what have I done? why I was wrong? what could I say to make you stay
once more?
“Sorry don’t you leave me so
sorry, may I love you more?
sorry, didn’t mean to hurt
sorry, can’t explain with words”
Heaven is lost, evidence hurts, evidence hurts
I curse myself, heaven is lost, heaven is lost
what have I done? why I was wrong? what could I say to make you stay
once more?
“Sorry don’t you leave me so
sorry, may I love you more?
sorry, didn’t mean to hurt
sorry, can’t explain with words”

TALK ABOUT LOVE
Never talk so loud, never scream
never ever talk to the babies, never read
Walk down on your own, higher speed
never ever out in the twilight, on the street
Always careful being heard about love
always laugh when they talk about love
I’m not acting proud, for I don’t feel
I just need a truth and a reason, as the air I breathe
It’s so strange talking about freedom, my love?
So strange, even gods talk about love
Always you’re put on trial for love
I don’t care that it’s strange, but it’s true
you’re brave but I’m too
I won’t give it up, for love is true
I don’t ask discounts, for I don’t need
wish I got to talk to you somehow, out of here
I’ve never got no gun, I’ve never killed
I’ve never met the guys with the weapons, you must believe
Always careful being heard about love
always laugh when they talk about love
Always you’re put on trial for love
I don’t fear their strength, but it’s cruel
you’re brave but I’m too
I won’t live enough, my love
I ‘m not good for dangerous crews
they’re brave but I’m too
I won’t live enough, my love, it’s true.

THE RAIN WORDS
Out in the sunrise gold shines on you
and words of beauty fail me
Then when the night falls in mystery
crowds of lovers find me, words like arms around me,
tongues of angels in me
I keep this road that’s leading by the rhymes to your door
leaving back the voice of world
A little rain must fall, a little rain of words must fall
Out in the daylight I’m shy with you
most of answers fail me
Then when the night calls like whispering
a sound of magic is in me, verses run around me
as burning flames within me
I keep this road that’s leading by the rhymes to your door
leaving back the noise of world
A little rain must fall, a little rain of words of love
Words as the rain drops, or poison too
touch the skin and go deep
Small blind whisperings, like knives they wound me
I keep this road that’s leading by the rhymes to your door
leaving back the noise of world
A little rain must fall, a little rain of words of love

MICHAEL
I wait for you Sarah
stand up and run to me, please now. Yes
I’ll tell you when you’re here
‘cause I feel so bad I can’t speak. No
Breathe and talk, slow, and quiet
the worst is over, Michael
there’s nothing wrong with your brain or blood in your veins
you can’t hide the whole day through
Stay with me Sarah
I feel like I’m closed in my shell now. Yes
I hang on to you now
I fear that you can’t understand. No
Free the ghosts inside
free the thoughts too, Michael
you must forgive all your faults, forget what you’ve done
and hold on till the dawn is through
Breathe on, talk on, Michael. What’s happening now?
Breathe on, talk on, Michael
Don’t hold me so tight, you’re scaring me, Mike
please hold on till the dawn is through

LOVE SONGS
I’ve already died thousands of times, then risen
I’ve skipped over this world, captured your soul like prey
All lies to myself, these songs say so
Lies to your eyes, lies and regrets
Love songs scream to myself as if I was someone else
I could be kissed and cherished in your arms
if I was someone else, still free from myself
Kissed, drunk from your tears
sunk in your perfume
Lost, but safe as a child
wild as a storm, and loved
Same lies to myself, these songs let go
as dreams in the light and flowers of fall
Love songs scream to myself as if I was someone else
I could be kissed and cherished in your arms
if I was someone else, still free from myself

THE DANCE
Feet in the sand and nose up to the air
A step and then back, a breath close to my face
As a snake on the skin you move around and whirl
A jump and a kiss, a white moon on the earth
If I see with the eyes I just see with the eyes of fools
but I feel in my flesh hidden something new
I feel it in my blood and fingers too
I’ll shiver till it’s gone, but it’s not through
la la la la..
No time to give in and rearrange my life
When dances begin soon I’ll be alright
A shake of your hair and I’m crawling on my knees
The dust on my head and my blood is on your lips

FLIES DON’T BOTHER
Children dying, naked, watch the sky with no expression
flies don’t bother, as they don’t bother us today
Children raped and sold and brought across the sea to nowhere
locked in cages, on the page of news today
Oh the pain, this pain which grows
this bad taste on my tongue
Oh the rage, the wrath which burns
this weight which chokes my throat
Oh the saints, the saints must come down
and see our shame on earth
Creatures of the nature, beating hearts of a million babies
they’ve been trampled, then forgotten and thrown away
Here we’ve lost our conscience, in the habit to the unbearable
don’t matter, flies don’t bother much today
Oh the pain, this pain which grows
this bad taste on my tongue
Oh the rage, the wrath which burns
this weight which chokes my throat
Oh the saints, the saints must come down
and see our shame on earth

KING OF THE ROAD
I’m the king of the road, yes, the king of the road is me
I’m a travelling knight, and I’m selling my heart for free
I’m the prince of the lost with the gift of a gipsy dream
Come with me, come with me
King of the road, yes it’s me
King of the road, yes it’s me
I got millions of miles, I got memories on my wheels
I got horses and lights and a gentleman ride for free
I don’t need treasures of time, I got the space and a world to see
for you and me, for you and me
King of the road, yes it’s me
King of the road, yes it’s me
Get on the road and speed ‘till tires scream
Right to the end of the street then follow to the sea
Light will be gone and the road will set you free
The king of the road will come and set you free
The king of the road will come and set you free

THE SLEEP THEME
Now the light has gone, my troubles unsolved
I still fill my room with fears and faults
I know them well
Now falls the sleep on your face
open your heart and wait
worries and grief fade away
travel on ships of tales
deep your sleep, far your sail
fly on the sea and home again
Answers unknown, to questions absurd
that’s still my way to carry on
by myself
Now falls the sleep on your face
open your heart and wait
quiet in the sleep floats your brain
and follows your dreams like tales
in your sleep, far away
open your heart and sail
on the sea, then home again
