Star Mile

Friday, April 30th, 2010

Old doubt and a girl by your side
She’s feeding your pride
As you go for a ride
Down the Star Mile

Worlds arise as she lets you come in
A duo begins
To the Hollywood Inn
Of the lonely

Chorus:
And all the gold dust in her eyes won’t reform into a ring
You had and lost the one thing
You kept in a safe place
Remember the face
Of the girl who had made you her own
And how you left her alone

All’s well at the base of the hill
You might need to fill
A prescription to kill
Off the silence.

Look down from your tower on high
And take in the night
Look her right in the eye
She’ll listen

Chorus

Life goes to those that are true
The regular news
Over playing the blues
With the light on

And if you burn the road
That’ll lead you back to her in time
I watch you turn to stone
You can’t find the sunlight

She’s moving on without you
The tide breaks
You watch the stars fade
They gather you back to their home
I guess it’s better than being alone

Ornella Vanoni – L’Appuntamento

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Ho sbagliato tante volte ormai che lo so già 
che oggi quasi certamente 
sto sbagliando su di te
ma una volta in più 
che cosa può cambiare nella vita mia… 
accettare questo strano appuntamento 
è stata una pazzia! 
Sono triste tra la gente 
che mi sta passando accanto 
ma la nostalgia di rivedere te 
è forte più del pianto: 
questo sole accende sul mio volto 
un segno di speranza. 
Sto aspettando quando ad un tratto 
ti vedrò spuntare in lontananza! 
Amore, fai presto, io non resisto… 
se tu non arrivi non esisto 
non esisto, non esisto… 
e cambiato il tempo e sta piovendo 
ma resto ad aspettare 
non m’importa cosa il mondo può pensare 
io non me ne voglio andare. 
io mi guardo dentro e mi domando 
ma non sento niente; 
sono solo un resto di speranza 
perduta tra la gente. 
Amore è già tardi e non resisto… 
se tu non arrivi non esisto 
non esisto, non esisto… 
luci, macchine, vetrine, strade 
tutto quanto si confonde nella mente 
la mia ombra si è stancata di seguirmi 
il giorno muore lentamente. 
Non mi resta che tornare a casa mia 
alla mia triste vita 
questa vita che volevo dare a te 
l’ hai sbriciolata tra le dita. 
Amore perdono ma non resisto… 
adesso per sempre non esisto 
non esisto, non esisto…

a country song

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

(country music rythm, fast but steady, kinda dolly parton’s creepin’ in)

the thrill of having you so close seems gone,
and i can’t seem to find it anymore,
i know it seems too wear a thing to say
but you seem like you’re a thousand miles away
so i say
let it roll

the days when i found you in my door are gone
and i know i would never go back home
if you were on my side you’d finally see
but mischief have made you away from me
so i say
let it roll

just a perfect day

Friday, September 29th, 2006

Just a perfect day,
Drink Sangria in the park,
And then later, when it gets dark,
We go home.
Just a perfect day,
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie, too,
And then home.

Oh it’s such a perfect day,
I’m glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.

Just a perfect day,
Problems all left alone,
Weekenders on our own.
It’s such fun.
Just a perfect day,
You made me forget myself.
I thought I was someone else,
Someone good.

Oh it’s such a perfect day,
I’m glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.

You’re going to reap just what you sow,
You’re going to reap just what you sow,
You’re going to reap just what you sow,
You’re going to reap just what you sow…

Lou Reed

sleeping

Friday, September 29th, 2006

I look at you all see the love there that’s sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don’t know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don’t know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it’s turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don’t know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don’t know how you were inverted
No one alerted you

I look at you all see the love there that’s sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all…
Still my guitar gently weeps

George Harrison – While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Forgiveness

In my silence I would love to forget
But restitution hasn’t come quite yet
And with one accord I keep moving forth
I stretch my heart to heal some more

It used to be all I’d want to learn
Was wisdom trust and truth
But now all I really want to learn
Is forgiveness for you

As my seasons change I’ve now grown to know
When one’s heart creates, one’s soul doesn’t owe
So I wash away stains of yesterday
Then tempt my heart with love’s display

fade into you

Monday, January 9th, 2006

Fade into you

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that’s true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You’ll come apart and you’ll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what’s not there.

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it’s strange you never knew

A stranger’s light comes on slowly
A stranger’s heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it’s strange you never knew

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it’s strange you never knew
I think it’s strange you never knew

la descrizione di un attimo

Saturday, December 24th, 2005

La descrizione di un attimo
le convinzioni che cambiano
e crolla la fortezza del mio debole per te
anche se non sei più sola perché sola non sai stare
e credi che dividersi la vita sia normale
ma la mia memoria scivola
mi ricordo limpida la trasmissione dei pensieri
la sensazione che in un attimo
qualunque cosa pensassimo in due
poteva succedere

E poi cos‘è successo
aspettami oppure dimenticami
ci rivediamo adesso
dopo quasi cinque anni

e come sempre sei la descrizione di un attimo per me
e come sempre sei un’emozione fortissima
e come sempre sei bellissima

Mi hanno detto dei tuoi viaggi
mi hanno detto che stai male
che sei diventata pazza
ma io so che sei normale
mi chiedi di partire adesso
perchè i numeri e il futuro non ti fanno preoccupare
vorrei poterti credere
sarebbe molto più facile
rincontrarci nei pensieri
distesi come se fossimo
sospesi ancora nell’attimo in cui
poteva succedere

E poi cos‘è successo
aspettami oppure dimenticami
ci rivediamo presto
fra almeno altri cinque anni

e come sempre sei la descrizione di un attimo per me
e come sempre sei un’emozione fortissima
e come sempre sei bellissima perchè
come sempre sei la descrizione di un attimo

All these accidents that happen
follow the dot
coincidence makes sense
only with you

you don’t have to speak – I feel

Emotional landscapes
they puzzle me
then the riddle gets solved
and you push me up to this:

State of emergency : how beautiful to be
state of emergency : is where I want to be

All that no-one sees
you see
what’s inside of me
every nerve that hurts you heal
deep inside of me

you don’t have to speak – I feel

Emotional landscapes
they puzzle me
then the riddle gets solved
and you push me up to this:

State of emergency : how beautiful to be
state of emergency : is where I want to be

I hope that I don’t fall in love with you

Tuesday, December 6th, 2005

Well I hope that I don’t fall in love with you
‘Cause falling in love just makes me blue,
Well the music plays and you display your heart for me to see,
I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me
And I hope that I don’t fall in love with you.

Well the room is crowded, people everywhere
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
Well if you sit down with this old clown, take that frown and break it,
Before the evening’s gone away, I think that we could make it,
And I hope that I don’t fall in love with you.

Well the night does funny things inside a man
These old tom-cat feelings you don’t understand,
Well I turn around to look at you, you light a cigarette,
I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we’ve never met,
And I hope that I don’t fall in love with you.

I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
And it being late, you’d like some some company,
Well I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me,
The guy you’re with has up and split, the chair next to you’s free,
And I hope that you don’t fall in love with me.

Now it’s closing time, the music’s fading out
Last call for drinks, I’ll have another stout.
Well I turn around to look at you, you’re nowhere to be found,
I search the place for your lost face, guess I’ll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you.

Tom Waits
