I stand on the edge of the cliff
And look at all those who were pushed by a hand
And were forced to build wings
Now they are lit by a magnificent star,
I look at them wandering far away
Further than the furthest places
Someone is coming closer, like they want to say:
Someone will know,
Someone is coming closer, like they want to say:
Let life melt in her hands, like snow...
I am in front of your door
Reading a message carved with a knife
That they now have to leave again,
That they are are now traversing the high noon
and the fairy tale beach,
Further than the furthest places
Someone is coming closer, like they want to say:
Someone will know,
Someone is coming closer, like they want to say:
Don't ask me if love can resurrect
Someone said they saw it happen once
Remember, when they left you alone
The scorpion you found when you picked up the rock
The rock that had a castle that reached the skies
For sailors, like them, a port
And you can hear again this night
The sound of coins that fate threw in the fountain,
I remember her scent,
The circles that relaxed under her eyes.
Go, you won't regret it,
Tell her that you came and will feel it,
You will feel her breath by your side
On a night with a full moon, on her flying carpet
Let life melt in her hands, like snow...
Let life melt in her hands, like snow...
Let life melt in her hands, like snow...
