There might have been things I missed
But don't be unkind
It don't mean I'm blind
Perhaps there's a thing or two

I think of lying in bed
I shouldn't have said
But there it is

You see it's all clear
You were meant to be here
From the beginning

Maybe I might have changed
And not been so cruel
Not been such a fool
Whatever was done is done
I just can't recall
It doesn't matter at all

You see it's all clear
You were meant to be here
From the beginning

per un pezzo altrettanto eccezionale BILL BRUFORD & PHIL COLLINS

Earth - dancing 'round the fire
Come - meet the western sky
Life - walking on a wire
Reach - to know the reason why

At the end of the day
You'll be lying in a suit of Grey
At the end of the day
You'll be fine

They - won't do you any favors
('Till the slate is clean)
You - you walk a lonely line
Slide - with punks and drunks and saviors
(In the big machine)
Down - you meet the rest of life

At the end of the day
It's what you do not what you say
At the end of the day
You'll be fine
At the end of the day
It doesn't matter anyway
At the end of the day
You'll be fine
You'll be fine

Great wheel is broken - you've got no fortune left
Out of the sunlight - out of the great undead
And you can't even sleep at night
And you literally curse each day
You could give or give back your life anyway

Concrete and jungle
They've stretched and hung you out
You can't turn the clock back
It's too late to turn back now
And you can't even hold your own
And you feel like you're all alone
And you never feel like you're home anywhere

At the end of the day
There won't be anymore
(So turn the world around)
At the end of the day
We'll know what this was for
(As the sun keeps comin' down)
At the end of the day
You won't feel any pain
(As the sky begins to fall)
At the end of the day
You'll be feeling right as rain
(As the veil reveals it all)

Lightning calls you
It's time to go
Something keeps telling you
But you don't want to know

Feel your heart like a window open slow
Say goodbye to the world that you know
At the end of the road

It begins, it believes and it sees for all time
She's coming down my way
It is here, as it breathes and it sees for the blind
She's holding me finally

You've been schooled
Had aggression in large amounts
Just be truthful
It's everything that counts

There is no hand waiting that must be paid
We will leave our encores all unplayed
At the end of the day

It begins, it believes and it sees for all time
She's coming down my way
It is here, as it breathes and it sees for the blind
She's holding me finally

It begins, it believes and it blows me away
It is here, as it breathes at the end of the day
She's coming down my way

It begins, as it ends and it won't be unkind
She's coming down my way
It is here, as it breathes and it eases my mind
Here it is finally
It begins, as it ends and it blows me away
It is here, as it lives at the end of the day
Here it is finally

Earth - dancing 'round the fire
Come - breathe the breath of life
Life - walking on a wire
Just - let it all in tonight

At the end of the day
It's what you do not what you say
At the end of the day
You've got time
At the end of the day
You'll be dreaming as you fly away
At the end of the day
You'll be fine, you'll be fine

Toccami

Andiamo, andiamo, andiamo, andiamo adesso
Toccami, piccola
Non vedi che non sono impaurito?
Cos’era quella promessa che mi hai fatto?
Perché non vuoi dirmi d cosa lei parlava?
Cos’era quella promessa che lei mi ha fatto?

Ora, ti amerò
Finché dal paradiso non pioverà più
ti amerò
Finché le stelle non sprofonderanno dal cielo
Per te e per me

I awoke this morning
Love laid me down by the river
Drifting I turned on up stream
Bound for my forgiver
In the giving of my eyes to see your face
Sound did silence me
Leaving no trace
I beg to leave, to hear your wonderous stories
Beg to hear your wonderous stories 'LA AHA'

He spoke of lands not far
Nor lands they were in his mind
Of fusion captured high
Where reason captured his time
In no time at all he took me to the gate
In haste I quickly
Checked the time
If I was late
I had to leave, to hear your wonderous stories
Had to hear your wonderous stories 'LA AHA, LA AHA'

Hearing
Hearing hearing your wonderous stories
Hearing your wonderous stories
It is no lie I see deeply into the future
Imagine everything
You're close
And were you there
To stand so cautiously at first
And then so high
As he spoke my spirit climbed into the sky
I bid it to return
To hear your wonderous stories
Return to hear your wonderous stories
Return to hear your wonderous stories
LA AH LA AH AH AH

 Il profumo diventa più intenso, lui sa che si sta avvicinando
Scopre un lungo corridoio illuminato da un lampadario
Ad ogni passo che percorre il profumo cambia
Da una fragranza familiare ad aromi sconosciuti
Una magnifica sala si schiude davanti ai suoi occhi
Dentro, una grande vasca di acqua di rose è avvolta da un sottile strato di nebbia
Camminando nell’umido silenzio, viene delicatamente baciato da una calda brezza
Pensando di essere da solo
Entra nella stanza come se fosse la sua
Ma la dolce acqua rosa che si increspa
Rivela la presenza di una compagnia inattesa
Rael se ne sta attonito stupito da ciò che vede
Folgorato dalla bellezza, preso dal panico;
Tre serpenti vermigli dal volto di donna
Un movimento leggiadro pieno di grazia
Melodie silenziose pervadono la sala echeggiante
Ma non c’è traccia di pericolo nel richiamo della sirena
“Benvenuto Rael, siamo le Lamia della vasca
Stavamo aspettando che le nostre acque ti arrecassero refrigerio”
Lasciandosi la paura alle spalle, confida ciecamente nella bellezza
Scivola nel nettare, dopo essersi tolto gli abiti ridotti a brandelli
“Con le lingue, tastano, assaporano e giudicano tutto il mio essere
Si muovono in una sequela di carezze
Che fanno rabbrividire la mia spina dorsale
Mentre mordono il frutto della mia carne, non sento dolore,
Solo una magia alla quale non saprei dare un nome.
Quando la prima goccia del mio sangue raggiunge le loro vene
I loro volti si contorcono per i dolori atroci
La più bella grida: ‘Tutte noi ti abbiamo amato, Rael’.”
Ogni corpo a forma di serpente galleggia inanimato
Lamento silenzioso in barche vuote
Una nauseante acidità pervade la stanza
L’amaro raccolto della belezza morente
Cerco un segno di vita pur sapendo di non poterne trovare
Accarezzo le ricce chiome già impallidite
Alle quali sono stato avvinto
“O Lamia, mangerò ciò che rimane del vostro corpo”
E’ di aglio l’odore
Che rimane sulle mie dita di cioccolato.
Guardandomi alle spalle, l’acqua ritorna gelida e blu
Le luci vengono abbassate e il palcoscenico è di nuovo pronto per te

musicalità piena e una voce stupenda
