A LOVE SONG

A minute before

the crack of dawn

The scare wakes you up

in a black and white scene:

you are alone

in the shop of the clothes

and the people around

are walking dead men.

Then you realize:

not a nightmare but real

You stare at the ceiling

and think of the knife.

Dany don’t

cry

cause of the

void

If you close your

eyes,

then you will

see

There close to

you (is) the

beat of my

heart

Covert a crack we keep in ourselves

Hiding the cleft behind the laugh

behind the mask that

often does smile.

There is a thing

I never told (you):

the day you should go,

i’ll do the same.

Dany don’t

cry

cause of the

void

If you close your

eyes,

then you will

see

There close to

you (is) the

beat of my

heart

The eye of the man can not see that far

and even this black is only a joke

Let’s go through this veil

changing our sight

leaving the desert,

reaching the zone where

every man is

a wild swan of Coole.

Dany don’t

cry

cause of the

void

If you close your

eyes,

then you will

see

There close to

you (is) the

beat of my

heart

So don’t fade

away, (and)

let’s drop the

knife

believe me when

speak of to

morrow:

there is a

flower, just

waiting for

us.

This is a song i composed coming back from China, where the last day of my journey i found a cool girl who hit my heart and gave me the inspiration for a new dream. That night we had a dance session, and we moved our hands in the style you can see in the video.

Here are the lyrics:

I came in Xiamen

to find a girl from New York

so sweet was the kiss

but she sent me away.

She has been the hint

for my mind to fly,

the flight went too far

and stretched the mind.

The mind fell apart

like a mirror that tries

to follow who leaves

going out of the room.

I came in Xiamen

to find a girl from New York

so sweet was the kiss

but she sent me away.

So tears on my face

this night in Xiamen;

only saved me the glue

i was told by Cobain.^[1]

I came in Xiamen

to find a girl from New York

so sweet was the kiss

but she sent me away.

^[1]“My heart is broke, but I have some glue” by Kurt Cobain, Dumb.
