I Tried And Tried

A gust of wind is crossing me, the story is on the way
Noise and thrills are growing up, no quiet in this day
Heavy clouds are gathering, the sky is gettin’ dark
Rays of light are passing through, the scene is bright and sharp
Distant steps of marching men are ringing in my mind
Arms and flags are waving on, the people move as one
No time for thinking
I tried and tried to let you know what’s my way
I tried and tried to let my tears fly away
Please hold my hand
Please hold my soul
A withered rose lies on the ground, still waiting to bloom
Veils of clouds are fleethy with the raising of the moon
Memories of yesterday, are knockin’ at the door
Living thoughts and frames of life are scattered on the floor
Distant sounds of ancient times are ringing in my mind
Swords and standards waving on, the people move as one
No time for speaking
I tried and tried to let you know what’s my way
I tried and tried to let my tears fly away
I tried and tried to let you know what’s my way
I tried and tried to let my tears fly away
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Man On The Wire
05:56

A great height, a tight-line
the wire-walker warms up now a long wire, a short while magic is coming and...
The tension is high now waiting with baited breath
A blue bird is singing
breaking the silence and...
Man on the wire high in the sky
The straight line, the wind's push one step ahead of death
The life path is narrow
twisting through air and clouds
The madness, the fear and
two extremes of his life and...
A thin wire, a thin world balance is hard to keep
Man on the wire high in the sky
Thrills and sweat
Man on the wire
A big height, a tight-line waiting with baited breath
A long wire, a short while
one step ahead of death
The madness, the fear and twisting through air and clouds
A blue bird is singing
breaking the silence and...
Man on the wire high in the sky
Thrills and sweat
Man on the wire

Stay With Me
04:02

Hey, don’t you smell the scent of sea walk away but stay with me
Hey, leave your fears away from here fly away but stay with me
Now there is magic in me
Now there's no doubt in my mind
Now there is magic in me
Now there's no doubt in my mind

In Your Absence
03:39
|

|
Bewitched by your scent, in the first light of morning
Memories of you,
in the sparkle of night lights
I fly and I fall with you

Looking down at the people, in the eye of the needle
Feel the weight on my shoulders, the fate is on my hands now
Take a step on the thin line, gently move on the skyline
Turn my face from the sun light, my path is long and narrow
I see your face beneath me
Let my drop of sweat fall down
Looking from high, walking on a wire
Like a black leaf, floating on a fire
I’m alone with my thoughts now, looking back at my life bowl
Sliding frames on my field of wiew, the memories are flowing
I take a step in the future, slowly move on the border
A gust of wind is arriving, I felt like I was dancing
How far the world appears to me I will greet you on my knee
Looking from high, walking on a wire
Wielding the bar that governs my life
Riding the sky, to the end of night
Stretching the line, from the folds of time
Spingo il cuore controcorrente
Giorno e notte nella mia mente
Looking from high, walking on a wire
Like a black leaf, floating on a fire
Riding the sky, to the end of night
Stretching the line, from the folds of time

Crystal Falls
06:08

Falling stars look like rambling ghosts in a crazy sky tonight
Threatening trees rise from gnarly roots in a frightening path of mud
Now I’m alone on the way
now I can see all that shines in me
Feeling the sounds of night in the dark
Walking through beams of light on my way
Climbing the hills of sand to the top
Reaching a land of cold grass and earth
Looking for wind and rain from the sky
Dancing with moon and clouds like a fool
Touching a roof of stars upon my head
Stretching time and space in my mind
Now I’m alone on the way
Watching a sky of grey pearl and silk
Looking for hidden shadows and folds
Smelling the scent of late night again
Flirting the crystal falls of my mind
Now I’m alone
Now I’m alive
Lightning drops on me
Now I’m alone
Now I’m alive
Twinking drops on me

One Face, One Lie
06:18
|
|||
|
One day at home in a bright light of June I met my twin
Fixing his eyes I could easily see mine how strong it was
Lives can change and turn like a flame that burns
Hearts can beat as one hands can touch the soul
Come inside talk to me I can’t say what I feel
One day, one night
One pale, one bright
One smile, one cry
One face, one lie
One day at home
while the wind blew so hard
I met a ghost
Fixing his eyes I could feel the great void how scary it was
Lives can turn to hell like a flame gone wild
Hearts can hate and die hands can cut your soul
Hold my hand feel me pray please don’t go, look my way
Talk to me in this dream
like a word on the lips
Hold my hand feel me pray please don’t go, look my way
One day, one night
One pale, one bright
One smile, one cry
One face, one lie

Next Time
05:35
|
|||
|
Lying on the bed in a lazy empty day
next time, I will fly
Just a pebble on the way on a dusty road of grey next time, I’ll raise on
If a grain of sand is earth, if a breath of air is sky next time, I’ll fly high
On the wakening of night
passing through the gates of light
Sitting on a steel bird Now riding on the skyway
Landing on a tree, falling like a bird at night
next time, will be mine
I’ll be watching from the sky, all the labyrinths of life next time, I’ll find them
I feel the fresh air in my hands
I feel a strong wind on my hair
I feel the daylight in my eyes
I feel the sand drift on my feet
Suddenly a flash across the sky what a light...
On the wakening of night
passing through the gates of light
Sitting on a steel bird
Now riding on the skyway

The Last Sign
06:26
|
|||
|
I must come to terms with life
demons fighting in my mind
Hate can live on after death
shall I overcome the past
I will leave my path to find out who I am
I will turn back just to see how far I am
I must come to terms with time
truth can easily change its face
Just one side of the moon
Just one life for us
Just one sun in the sky
Just one day to die
I will put my spirit in the hands of God
I will leave my hat and jacket on the bench
I will take my book of dreams I’ve never read
I will look at life and give it the last sign
