Al teatre

When we turn off
these stage lights
it means you’ll have a place for me...

when we put away
the songs and the costumes
it means you’ll make room for me

it’s cold for the stars
for the stars it’s cold
you always look at me not knowing that
I’m looking at you with my eyes so
blind

when other voices
better than mine
celebrate in your heart

and my fairground talents
are left far behind
it means I’ll have a corner inside you

hold me, hold me tight
hold me, hold me tight
you’ve always looked at me not imagining
that I see you too and that’s how I fell in love

when everything’s coming down
curtains and backdrops
the only theater will be the world

I won’t know
how to die without lies
it means you’ll give me shelter in your heart

I’m late, I’m late, alone
goodbye, goodbye, alone
and while you look at me thinking I can’t see you
I see you, I feel you, and I love you in secret

of all the loves
that have lined the shore
the last one I have is yours

I don’t need the body
I only take your smile
there’s little path, and it’s so brief... and I’ve had
enough

it’s cold for the stars
for the stars it’s cold
you always look at me thinking I can’t see you...
