Postcards From Italy

The times we hadOh, when the wind would blow with rain and snowWere not all badWe put our feet just where they had, had to go

Never to go

The shattered soulFollowing close but nearly twice as slowIn my good timesThere were always golden rocks to throwat those who admit defeat too lateThose were our times, those were our times

And I will love to see that dayThat day is mineWhen she will marry me outside with the willow treesAnd play the songs we made

They made me soAnd I would love to see that dayHer day was mine------------Mount Wroclai (Idle Days)And I know when timewill pass by slowwithout my heartwhat can I doyou're in the halls

VERSIONE 2:If I was young, I'd flee this townI'd bury my dreams undergroundAs did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight


Let the seasons begin - When love was right nor wrongLet the seasons begin - take the big game down

Let the seasons begin - When love was right nor wrongLet the seasons begin - take the big game down

And it rips through the silence of our camp at nightAnd it rips through the night, all night, all night

And it rips through the silence of our camp at nightAnd it rips through the silence, all that is left is all that I hide.

Forks and Knives (La Fte)

Uptown, the street's in a calming wayAnd outside is warm as a bed with a maidAnd I find it's all our waves and ravesThat makes the days go on this way

I heard the sad sound of wordsSpoken from a bee, of a wise old bird (Altern.: spoken from a beak of a wise oldbird")

The bells chimeSeven timesCompleted at nineThe world moves slower, I find

No, but ILearned of timeBy your hands

And in shallow waters' endI learned not to swim, but to lie
