The Po (Latin: Padus and Eridanus, Italian: Po Italian pronunciation: [ˈpɔ], ancient Ligurian: Bodincus or Bodencus, Greek: Πάδος and Ἠριδανός) is a river that flows either 652 km (405 mi) or 682 km (424 mi) – considering the length of the Maira, a right bank tributary – eastward across northern Italy, from a spring seeping from a stony hillside at Pian del Re, a flat place at the head of the Val Po under the northwest face of Monviso (in the Cottian Alps) through a delta projecting into the Adriatic Sea near Venice. It has a drainage area of 74,000 km² in all, 70,000 in Italy, of which 41,000 is in montane environments and 29,000 on the plain. The Po is the longest river in Italy; at its widest point its width is 503 m (1,650 ft). The Po extends along the 45th parallel north.
The river flows through many important Italian cities, including Turin (Torino), Piacenza and Ferrara. It is connected to Milan through a net of channels called navigli, which Leonardo da Vinci helped design. Near the end of its course, it creates a wide delta (with hundreds of small channels and five main ones, called Po di Maestra, Po della Pila, Po delle Tolle, Po di Gnocca and Po di Goro) at the southern part of which is Comacchio, an area famous for eels. The Po valley was the territory of the Roman Cisalpine Gaul, divided in Cispadane Gaul (South of the Po) and Transpadane Gaul (North of the Po).
When I hold you I am just trying to feel
That thing inside of you that I once thought was real
To see that light I thought I saw, but it was never there
at all
I put these things in you I wanted to believe
But they aren't real it seems I made them in my dreams
I see allusions of the things I wanted you to be
And I see faces in the darkness, I hear voices in the air
I see shadows all around me, but no one's there
No one's there
I see faces, I see faces
You are speaking, but your're lips don't match the words
Are these just voices in my head?
I want someone one to love so badly I don't know what is
real, anymore
And I see faces in the darkness I hear voices in the air
I see shadows all around me, but no one's there
No one's there
I see faces, I see faces
I see faces in the darkness, I hear voices in the air
I see shadows all around me, but one's there, no one's
