Days before you came...



Domani me ne vado in giro a fare shopping/days before you came/con il mio lettore mp3/freezing cold and empty/ cercando di ritrovare in me un po' di spazio sgombro e silenzioso/towns that change their name/dove appoggiare finalmente le mani e la testa/and a horn of plenty/dove una musica non sia un dolore, una parola un ricordo/days before you came/me ne andrò in giro con il naso all'insù/counting breath inside me/ come facevo prima del tuo arrivo/days before you came.

Non ti avrei voluto comunque/I didn't want you anyway.

I'll take the rain


Un nuovo senso di leggerezza si impossessa di me, cosa farò adesso? chissenefrega, dove andrò? bo', chi ci sarà al mio fianco? solo me stessa andrà benissimo e se per la strada incontrerò l'uomo di latta, il leone codardo, lo spaventapasseri o il cane, e se addirittura incontrassi il mago? dirò buongiorno.
La mia vita ricomincia da qui, niente più paranoie, niente sentirsi inferiori, niente stupide influenze, solo io e il mondo che mi circonda :)


The rain came down
the rain came down
the rain came down on me.
the wind blew strong
the summer song
fades to memory
I knew you when
I loved you then
the summer's young and helpless.
you laid me bare
you marked me there
the promises we made.
I used to think
as birds take wing
they sing through life so why can't we?
if you cling to this
and claim your best
if this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
the nighttime creases
summer schemes
and stretches out to stay.
the sun shines down
you came around
you love easy days.
but now the sun,
the winter's come.
I wanted just to say
that if I hold
I'd hope you'd fold
open up inside, inside of me.
I used to think
as birds take wing
they sing through life so why can't we?
if you cling to this
and claim your best
If this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
this winter song
I'll sing along
I've searched its still refrain
I'll walk alone
I've given this, take wing
celebrate the rain.
I used to think
as birds take wing
they sing through life so why can't we?
if you cling to this
and claim your best
If this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain.
