From a table across the room
She was signaling me with her eyes
I walked over to be introduced
I said, "Hello", she just smiled
And said, "I know a place not too far from here
We could get away for awhile"
Yeah, that's when she kissed me and told me her name
I never did tell her mine, oh
Magnolia
I remember the smell of the wind through the sweet Magnolia
And I know that she's out there somewhere in the world
She's forgotten me but I remember her
Magnolia
Well, her lips were as warm as that wet southern night
Her eyes were as black as the sky
And I wondered aloud just what I done right
As I lay there with her by my side
Then she took hold of my hand as she looked up at me
And said, "Now I must tell you goodbye"
And there in the moonlight as I watched her leave
I felt a chill down inside, oh
Magnolia
I remember the smell of the wind through the sweet Magnolia
And I know that she's out there somewhere in the world
She's forgotten me but I remember her
Magnolia
Oh, I remember the smell of the wind through the sweet Magnolia
From a table across the room
She was signaling me with her eyes
I walked over to be introduced
I said hello, she just smiled
And said I know a place not too far from here
Where we could get away for a while
Yeah, that's when she kissed me and told me her name
I never did tell her mine
Magnolia
I remember the smell of the wind so sweet
Magnolia
And I know that she's out there somewhere in the world
She's forgotten me but I remember her
Magnolia
Well her lips were as warm
As that wet southern night
Her eyes were as black as the sky
And I wondered aloud
Just what I had done right
As I lay there with her by my side
Then she took hold my hand
As she looked up at me
And said now I must tell you goodbye
And there in the moonlight
As I watched her leave
I felt a chill down inside
Magnolia
I remember the smell of the wind so sweet
Magnolia
And I know that she's out there somewhere in the world
She's forgotten me but I remember her
Whippoorwill's singing
Soft summer breeze
Makes me think of my baby
I left down in New Orleans
I left down in New Orleans
Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
Got to get back to you, babe
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
You whisper "Good morning"
So gently in my ear
I'm coming home to you, babe
I'll soon be there
I'll soon be there
(John J. Cale)
Whippoorwill's singing, soft summer breeze;
Makes me think of my baby left down in New Orleans,
I left down in New Orleans
Magnolia you sweet thing, you're driving me mad
Got to get back to you, baby;
You're the best I ever had;
You're the best I ever had;
You whisper, ";Good Morning"; so gently in my ear;
I'm coming to you baby;
I'll soon be there
I'll soon be there
Quit surrounding me
i'm already down and gone
locked defeat
got your eyes pealed
the only thing holding me are
why won't you quit
dragging me around
we can tell by now
that there's no such thing as love
and i can't do anything to forget
all that you are
how, long must i wait
oh, to break
and you know it'll be easier to snap
and if by now
but you wont let me go
we can tell by now
that there's no such thing as love
and i can't do anything
to forget all that you are
and as you see
I watch and wonder
As you discover
I'm hoping that I find
Something that reminds me of myself
And I keep hearing
How these days are fleeting
So I try to lock away
Every memory
Magnolia
Magnolia
These days won't last forever
Magnolia
Magnolia
So the moments we're together
Mean everything
And with every blessing
Night and day I'm asking
Oh for just a little more
There never is enough
Magnolia
Magnolia
These days won't last forever
Magnolia
Magnolia
So the moments we're together
Mean everything
It's like there's no one around
When you're holding my hand in a crowd
It's like there's no one around
When you're holding my hand in a crowd
No one
And I know there'll be a day
I'll be giving you away
Until then I'm holding on
Magnolia
Magnolia
These days won't last forever
Magnolia
Magnolia
So the moments we're together
Mean everything
Magnolia
Magnolia
Well it's the end of the dream
That started on green metal
She whispered and the wind shook
The magnolia seeded limp in winter
Well she twisted round the cage
And she twisted round the cage
And slipped out into the shaking night
And only shuffled cloth hanging
In the quickness of her leaving
Only shuffled cloth hanging
Abuse your body and call it love.
I hear the stories; the bruises speak for themselves.
You think we're blind just because we are young.
I'm old enough to know now my age made me dumb.
I should have yelled and forced someone to hear those things we thought were better left unsaid.
Is now too late?
It dominates my head.
Those things we thought were better left unsaid.
I could not choose a way. A choice that wasn't mine to make.
Just make him go away.
But if you're happy then I'm glad you found him.
Please help her find her way.
A choice that wasn't mine to make.
Just make him go away.
Will she be happy when she finally finds herself?
Does she know she has our help?
Why do I even bother?
I could not choose a way.
A choice that wasn't mine to make.
We left those things unsaid.
It hurts to talk but I'm starting to wish I did.
(**Repeat once**)
Some things are better off
Left unsaid! (x2)
The streets made me, you know they did, 6th Street, Magnolia Street, c'mon
M...A...G...N...O..L, I, A, thats the home where the souljas stay
[Chorus-2x]
You niggaz claim to be a soulja, but you souljas ain't no souljas
I told ya and I showed ya, I'm a soulja for life
Now what you hear is what you get, from a nigga like me
Uncut, raw shit, all I know is the streets
[Soulja Slim]
I got these niggaz wearing soulja reeboks and soulja rags
I had these niggaz off the porch in '94, snortin' powder bags
Magnolia Slim underground, Soulja Slim to the world
It's all the same, don't get it twisted, still uncut and explicit
Uptown's where I'm listed, look me up in the 3rd Ward
You might find me on the Parkway between Dorgenois and Broad
Smokin' herb, by the curb, but I ain't gone chill for too long though
'Cause on that there block, them white folks be hot
Shoot up to wards Claiborne, make a left cut through Exon
Now I'm on Willow Street, the spot where the killers be
That's where I layed my head for years, I'mma representa
And I ain't talkin' bout this rap shit, nigga respect it or I'll send ya
[Chorus-2x]
[Soulja Slim]
I'm soulja this, I'm soulja that, nigga what, I played the halls
Ran through the cut, 6 Co. fa'sho, The Circle, the killin' field
Where the killers chill, on the real, that been my spot since I was lil'
I can't tell these d's to chill, since Shorty Mike got killed
Open wound still soaked, it's gone heal
I run with trill niggaz, we don't take no shit
If you got it, you better hide it, I still pull off robberies
Ain't a damn thing gravy, ain't a damn thing sweet
My beef they beef, they beef my beef
6 Co. nigga, 6 Co., Cut Throat nigga, screamin' Cut Throat
[Chorus-2x]
[Soulja Slim]
I'm screamin' I'm a soulja 'cause I mean it nigga
From my black soulja reeboks to my beanie nigga
I soulja walk and talk crazy to these bitch niggaz
Its in my blood, what the fuck, I'mma blast that trigga
What you forgot, with the murder charge in '96
Without no evidence, I ain't even do the shit, not guilty
You niggaz should've been killed me
I done came up, me and my souljas bout to fuck the game up, be cool
M...A...G...N...O..L, I, A, thats the home where the souljas stay
[Chorus-2x]
[Soulja Slim talking]
Cut Throat Comitty, the streets made me, the streets made me
Your heartbeat is pulsing at night in your chest
It's gold and it's glowing with all the life you have left
I received your words from hospitals where you felt alone
Your words like smoke, they made me sick but they kept me warm
Run where you'll be safe
Through the garden gates
To the shelter of magnolias
Your eyes are like sea glass, so weathered and worn
From all they've seen of adolescence torn
The lovers who have tainted you, they pulled you into the night
They touched your skin with velvet gloves and made you feel alive
Run where you'll be safe
Through the garden gates
To the shelter of magnolias
There's not much time
The blush in the sky begins to fade
You are weathered and worn
Your petals soft and torn
The fading color
You have bent your shoulders
To hold the weight of the world
You will surely shatter
Run where you'll be safe
Through the garden gates
To the shelter of magnolias
There's not much time
The blush in the sky begins to fade
Your heartbeat is pulsing at night in your chest
It's gold and it's glowing with all the life you have left
I received your words from hospitals where you felt alone
Your words like smoke, they made me sick but they kept me warm
Run where you'll be safe
Through the garden gates
To the shelter of magnolias
Your eyes are like sea glass, so weathered and worn
From all they've seen of adolescence torn
The lovers who have tainted you, they pulled you into the night
They touched your skin with velvet gloves and made you feel alive
Run where you'll be safe
Through the garden gates
To the shelter of magnolias
There's not much time
The blush in the sky begins to fade
You are weathered and worn
Your petals soft and torn
The fading color
You have bent your shoulders
To hold the weight of the world
You will surely shatter
Run where you'll be safe
Through the garden gates
To the shelter of magnolias
There's not much time
I drove all day to North Mississippi
I drove all night to the place I call home
I hope that Johnnys still waitin there for me
To take me beside him and call me his own
Chorus:
But its too late now
Its too late now
The smell of magnolias
Still sweet in my mouth
And I know its too late now
Johnny got mean when he started drinkin
And it wasnt nobodys fault when he cried
So I left one mornin from North Mississippi
Cause I couldnt stand to tell mama I lied
Chorus
Johnny took no time to ask me to marry
And I said I would though I knew it was wrong
They played Hank Williams in North Mississippi
And I played the same girl I had all along
Chorus
Early one mornin in North Mississippi
I swore that I could hear somebody cry
But it wasnt my Johnny from North Mississippi
All dressed up in orange on the day that I died
Chorus:
But its too late now
Its too late now
The smell of magnolias
Now gone from my mouth
Quit surrounding me
I'm already down and cornered
Locked in defeat as your bright eyes beam
The only thing holding me here
Why won't you quit dragging me 'round?
And we can tell by now
That there's no such thing as running
And I can't do anything to forget all that you are
And how long must I wait, oh, to break
And you know it'd be easier to snap in half by now
But you won't let me go
And we can tell by now
That there's no such thing as running
And I can't do anything to forget all that you are
Forget all you are
And I'm forever lost from home
I remember that day,
When I tried to patch your pain with faith,
And you betrayed me and our family,
Was it easy for you to walk away?
Full speed ahead with no turn back,
I watched the days turn your soul to black.
I never knew what your love was,
I can't except it to this day.
Your life is driving me insane,
And I can't even begin to explain,
This situation to anyone,
Because I've lost my mind
Lost my mind
Mad, walking like the dead,
You walked away and paid no respect,
To those who love you.
Now you did it,
And it's over now
No longer to be controlled,
You made your choice,
Now I'm through.
And I hope and pray that sense will find you.
I'm sorry x4
Sorry
I'm sorry that this is how it has to be in the end
I simply have nothing left to give
You've drained me,
For the worst,
I'm the one that always put you first,
I am alone
You let me down
I can't forgive you,
But my memory of you will always stay,
As a loving person, who threw it all away
I'm sorry that this is how it has to be in the end
I simply have nothing left to give
You've drained me,
For the worst,
I'm the one that always put you first,
I am alone
You let me down
Magnolia, magnolia
Your white flowers glow.
Those cones filled with red seeds
They come and they go.
Oh, moss tree, oh, moss tree
Filled my wagon so.
Made wigs and beards
Like someday I'd grow...
and Ohhhh.
Oh, rosebush, oh, rosebush
My grandaddy's work.
Been dug up...thrown out.
Just weeds on the dirt.
BACK HERE AFTER YEARS.
Once brought home a WOMAN.
Now she's sent me back.
Just here for a visit.
Won't even unpack.
Til Dad says, oh, Dad says
let's throw around the ball.
I'd love just to chat, Dad,
This glove is too small...and ohh.
So each time, oh, each time
That I come back home,
Feels more like my folks' house
And I'm more alone.
[INSTRUMENTAL]You feel like you're wide awake
You can see you're dragging down the morning sun, the morning sun
You believe you hide away
You can see you're burning in your innocence, your innocence
Yeah you gotta give it up
You're laughing at the morning sun
Yeah you gotta give it up, give it up
You're laughing at the morning sun

New York-via-London rockers Alberta Cross are set to release Songs of
Patience, the follow-up to their 2009 debut Broken Side of Time, on July
17th on ATO. Take an exclusive first listen to their new single,
"Magnolia," a steadily soaring jam with the kind of closing
chorus that demands group sing-alongs.
"'Magnolia' is a song about too many late nights, for better or worse,
and the feeling of estrangement they sometimes bring," says lead
singer and guitarist Petter Ericson Stakee. "At the end of the day,
though, I feel like it's more of a positive song than a negative one. It's
pretty colorful and, for some, could be a sort of summer chant about having

You're the best I ever had
You whisper "Good morning"
So gently in my ear
I'm coming home to you, babe
I'll soon be there
I'll soon be there
Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
Got to get back to you, babe
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
Verse 1:
Don’t let your hungry heart keep you from the things that you love most dearly now.

Your voice it makes me want to write and sing happy jazz yeah yeah yeah.

Intro:
(Whoa-way-a-oh, way-a-oh, way-a-oh)
Verse 1:
Monie was a girl who wanted nothing more than to be a star.
How could you let her down?
All she needed was a dad to tell her that
she can be anything she wants so long as it’s not him.
Pre-Chorus 1:
Nothing you can say now (nothing you can say) can take it all away.
How could you look into her eyes and not want to reply that you’re
sorry you’re a fuck up and you wish that you could make it up but
your too drunk again and your skin is wearing thin again, from sin and gin?
Chorus 1:
They’ll leave this broken home. (Bah-dah-bop-bah)
Cause they’d rather be all alone. (Bah-dah-bop-bah)
Cause they’re tired of fighting the pain of trying to stay sane
in a house with a man who can’t see life is not a game.
Verse 2:
(Way-a-a-oh, way-a-oh, way-a-oh)
Johnny was a boy who never had a friend, but his sister, who learned from the best how to let him down.
When Mom died all he could ever think to do was to leave the world he knew to escape from you.
Pre-Chorus 2:
Nothing you can say now can make it all okay.
How you could you walk right past him when you know that he thinks that
you are such a fuck up and he wishes you would shut up so maybe he could sleep yeah and
maybe he could dream of a…
Bridge:
dad who has a job and doesn’t need to rob and he tells his kids he loves them everyday? Everyday, everyday.
Chorus 2:
They will leave this broken home. (Bah-dah-bop-bah)
Cause they’d rather be all alone. (Bah-dah-bop-bah)
Cause they’re tired of fighting the pain of trying to stay sane
in a house with a man who can’t see life is not a game.
Chorus 3:
In this broken home, life is not a game. In this broken home. (Life is not a game)
Oh, when will you realize that you are not alone in the life that you lead it’s not about what you need.
Chorus 4:
This broken home. (Bah-dah-bop-bah)
You need this broken home. (Bah-dah-bop-bah)
But they’re tired of fighting the pain of trying to stay sane
in a house with a man who can’t see life is not a game.
No life is not a game.
Outro:
Chorus 1:
Alyx, can’t you see that it’s not to late to be the one who saves my world.
Verse 1:
Sometimes you feel you’ve got to run away but every time you’re compelled to stay ’cause
too many times your hearts been crushed to believe in me but
trust in me and you will see that being with me’s not a fantasy but
some kind of beautiful reality where we can be happy eternally young and in love.
Chorus 2:
Alyx, don’t you cry because I will try not to fall in love with you.
Verse 2:
Sometimes I feel like it is all a waste, maybe it’d be easier to lose the race.
In a world so fill with pain what’s the point in playing the game but
then I think of what we could be, unstoppable forces like you and me.
Separated it is clear to see that I’m useless to use this to save a girl named…
Chorus 3:
Alyx, don’t you cry because I will try not to fall in love with you.
Alyx, can’t you see that it’s not to late to be the one who saves my world.
Bridge:
You tell me I’m insane but I know you feel the same.
Deep down in your heart and soul I know you love me too.
We were always meant to be please don’t throw that all away.
Listen to your heart tell me, what’s trying to say?
Don’t you dare leave me alone again I won’t make it on my own.
It’s now or never be forever split in two by stone.
You’re the only thing that still feel right.
Please don’t make me say that…
Chorus 4:
Alyx, don’t you cry because I will try not to fall in love with you.
Alyx, can’t you see that it’s not to late to be the one who saves my world.
Alyx, can’t you see that it’s not to late to be the one who saves my world.
Outro:
I told your heart to choose, you tore my heart in two.
Still I’ve fallen more for you. I can’t get over you.
Verse 1:
Here we go again, another fight I can’t win. As we both begin to drift apart I
come crawling back each time, (Back each time.) just to fall in line. (Fall in line.) Each time it blows my mind how I love misery.
Chorus 1:
I can not breathe without you. I can’t live without you. I surrender now.
Whoa-oh-oh. Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Whoa-oh-oh.
Verse 2:
There is a part of me that needs you constantly, ’cause I’m apparently addicted (A) to (dick) your (to) misery. (you.)

Chorus 2:
I can not breathe without you. I can’t live without you. I surrender now.
Whoa-oh-oh. Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Whoa-oh-oh.
Bridge:
And here we go again, it’s all the same. All in vain.
I must be insane ’cause I keep crawling back for more.
Well I’m so sick of your shit, I just want out of it. It’s killing me inside how I’m
addicted to your misery.
And I, I KNOW IT’S HARD but you’ve got to try, misery. Yeah.
Chorus 3:
I can not breathe without you. I CAN’T live without you.
Say you never even wonder why your calling out my name
You never showed a star
now you tell me what to do
Say you never even wonder, why you're driving me insane
When nightstar's falling, there's no break of dawn.
you fall and I rise
just a little wonder
you and I, you and I, it's all so vain
I fall and you rise
just a little wonder, you and I, you and I, feel so
vain
I fall and I rise
with a little wonder
you and i, you and i, crawling to still survive
You fall and You rise,
with a little wonder
you and i, you and i, no need to say goodbye...
Say you never even wonder why your calling out my name
You never showed a star
now you tell me what to do
Say you never even wonder, why you're driving me insane
When nightstar's falling, there's no break of dawn

you and I, you and I, it's all so vain
you fall and you rise
with a little wonder
you and i, you and i, no need to say goodbye.

just a little wonder
you and I, you and I, it's all so vain
I fall and you rise
just a little wonder, you and I, you and I, feel so
Verse 1:
Give me your heart so I can crush your soul, tear it apart and tell you it was just for laughs.
I’d like to think I ruined your life for the better, but I know you too well.
There is a part of you that still loves me.
Somewhere, so deep inside you know we were meant to see
the end together ’cause united we stand and apart we will fall so I ask of you…
Chorus:
“Would you be alright on your own, okay all alone?”
And I plead, don’t leave ’cause I need you to breath.
(No tell tale heart was left to find that night.)
Can we skip the part you’re breaking my heart girl?
Verse 2:
All I ever wanted was to make you laugh, tell you I love you and to hear you say it back.
A little bit of you was more than enough for me girl now I need to know…
Chorus 2:
“Would you be alright on your own, okay all alone?”
And I plead, don’t leave ’cause I need you to breath,
(No tell tale heart was left to find that night.)
to feed and to see and I know you’ll go oh whoa.
(No tell tale heart was left to find that day.)
Bridge:
So tell me if you want me back. Forgive me, say your sorry. (Suddenly)
Your soldiers are dying and (you begin to see)
your tidal waves are crashing (your world begins)
around me. (to spin again)
They surround me. (and you’ve lost control)
It’s you and me my lover. (and your soul)
We were meant to be together. (now you know)
I can see your true colors (your all time low.)
’cause deep inside your right, but hoped you’d be wrong.
Go back to paradise where you belong (Girl I still need to know)
Chorus 3:
Would you be alright on your own, okay all alone?
And I plead, don’t leave ’cause I need you to breath.
(No tell tale heart was left to find that night.)
Can we skip the part where you’re breaking my heart girl?
Verse 1:
What is in your love that I can’t get enough of? The way you’re going down on me. Must be a free for all.
Maybe it’s your stare. Maybe, baby, it’s the way you pull my hair that makes you so God damn irresistible.
When you’re naked on my bed and just dying to give. Head rushes and soft touches. A happy place lets keep the pace alive.
It’s a night you wont forget. C-c-come on, get set ’cause I need to, want, have to make you…
Chorus 1:
Up against the wall, the urge begins to call. There’s nothing that can satisfy me like the way you move.
Grinding on the floor, screaming more, more, more. It leaves me begging for your touch.
Verse 2:
The taste of your skin must be a sin, ’cause it’s so damn addictive.
The feeling of your flesh pressed hard against my chest, makes me have to, want, to need to feel your…
Chorus 2:
Up against the wall, the urge begins to call. There’s nothing that can satisfy me like the way you move.
Grinding on the floor, screaming more, more, more. It leaves me begging for your touch.
Bridge:
YEAH!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-love.
Chorus 3:
Up against the wall, the urge begins to call. There’s nothing that can satisfy me like the way you move.
Verse 1:
There’s something inside us all that makes our hearts yearn for love, that’s why I need you here, ’cause you complete my word.I don’t ever wanna hear you say that you’re not worth my time, ’cause you’re my everything, you are the only one.
Chorus:
Only you can make my life complete, only you can stop this heart ache.
Please believe me when I say you’re loved. Only you love, only you.
Verse 2:
Somebody once told me that if you have loved then you have found, well if so I’m more than found, I’ve become immortal.
There’s something about you that I need in me I just can’t explain, without you evermore I’d crash, burn, and (HIT THE FLOOR!)
Chorus:
Only you can make my life complete, only you can stop this heart ache.
Please believe me when I say you’re loved. Only you love, only you.
Bridge:
This feeling (I love you) can’t be spoken of. I’m thinking (I love you) maybe this feeling’s love. This feeling (I love you) that only you instill, I’m screaming (I LOVE YOU!)
Chorus:
Only you can make my life complete, only you can stop this heart ache.
Please believe me when I say you’re loved. Only you love, only you.
Chorus:
Only you can make my life complete, only you can stop this heart ache.
Please believe me when I say you’re loved. Only you love, only you.
Verse 1:
So long ago, I don't remember when.
That's when they say I lost my only friend.
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease.
As I listened through the cemetery trees.
Verse 2:
I seen the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn.
The long broken arm of human law.
Now it always seemed such a waste.
She always had a pretty face.
So I wondered why she hung around this place.
Chorus:
Hey, come on try a little.
Nothing last forever.
There's got to be something better than in the middle.
Me & Cinderella, we put it all together.
We can drive it home with one headlight.
Verse 3:
She said it's cold.
It feels like Independence Day and I can't break away from this parade.
But there's got to be an opening somewhere here in front of me.
Through this maze of ugliness and greed.
And I seen the sun up ahead, at the county line bridge.
Saying all there's good and nothingness is dead.
We'll run until she's out of breath.
She ran until there's nothing left.
She hit the end. It's just her window ledge.
Chorus:
Hey, come on try a little.
Nothing last forever.
There's got to be something better than in the middle.
Me & Cinderella, we put it all together.
We can drive it home with one headlight.
Verse 4:
Well this place is old, it feels just like a beat up truck.
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn.
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes.
This place is always such a mess.
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn.
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else.
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same.
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dying dreams I think her
Death.
It must be killing me.
Chorus:
Hey, come on try a little.
Nothing last forever.
There's got to be something better than in the middle.
Me & Cinderella, we put it all together.
Verse 1:
I didn’t want a friend like you wanted to pretend ’cause everything is not okay.
I’m better off unknown. You’re better off alone, just promise me you wont forget…
Pre-Chorus 1:
… everything we had, all the good things and the bad. I wish that you could see what I mean when I say,
“You were everything to me, but it wasn’t meant to be.” I feel so lonely. Oh whoa.
Chorus:
I believed in you, but what’d you do? You gave up everything. If only for awhile.
Everybody’s gone and everything feels wrong. Oh I just can’t bring myself to say good-bye to you. Oh whoa.
Verse 2:
You’re sick of all the fights? Well I think it’s only fair that you just learn to let it go.
I’ve never been so sad. You’ve never seemed so mad. I think it’s time for me to go.
Pre-Chorus 2:
I’m feeling so alone, smashing everything I own. This song is my final hope ’cause
I can’t get over you and I don’t know what to do. I’m truly…
Bridge:
sorry for the way it’s been. I thought that we could work it out, but you weren’t there.
Chorus:
I believed in you, but what’d you do? You gave up everything. If only for awhile.
Now everybody’s gone and everything feels wrong. Oh I just can’t bring myself to say good-bye to you ’cause
Chorus:
I believed in you, but what’d you do? You gave up everything. If only for awhile.
Hokorobite yukeba
Ato wa chiru made saku dake no

Amaku natsukashii sono te de dakishimete yo

Kowareta kioku no yasashii koe ni kidzuku made

Lentamente scivola
la tua mano su di te
quel tanto che basta per trasformare
ogni carezza in un gemito
ti guardo accaldata contorcerti
tra le lenzuola umide
golosa ed implacabile
forza fammi male finchè vuoi
lo sai...
Pioggia io sarò per toglierti la sete
e sole salirò per asciugarti bene
vento arriverò per poterti accarezzare
ma se vuoi, se tu vuoi
tra fango e neve, fango e neve impazzirò!
Ti ammiro per come ti approcci
a questi anni mutevoli
mi piace quel tuo senso pratico
la tua forza e l'ironia
i cieli neri intorno a noi
sono soltanto nuvole
che dolcemente soffi via
e niente può far male più, lo sai...
lo sai...
Pioggia io sarò per toglierti la sete...
e sole salirò per asciugarti bene...
vento arriverò per poterti accarezzare...
ma se vuoi, se tu vuoi
tra fango e neve, fango e neve impazzirò!
impazzirò
Finché pioggia diverrò per toglierti la sete...
e sole io sarò per asciugarti bene
vento arriverò per poterti accarezzare
ma se vuoi, se tu vuoi
tra fango e neve, fango e neve impazzirò!
impazzirò! e pioggia io sarò
per toglierti la sete, per asciugarti bene, per
poterti accarezzare
ma se vuoi, se tu vuoi
fino alla fine, fino alla fine del mondo
Vieni con me, vieni con me, vieni con me
ad insegnarmi a camminare, ad insegnarmi a respirare...
con le mani, con le mani, con le mani
