Con il cuore pesante ti ho visto lasciare

*"Quando sei lontana sogno all' orizzonte e mancan le parole,e io si lo so che sei con me, con me,tu mia luna tu sei qui con me,mio sole tu sei qui con me,con me, con me," -Andrea Bocelli  
   
   
Watching you walk calmly away I asked myself  
if there ever was such a thing as a 'good bye  
   
People talk of time and healing  
nonsensical cliche phrases    
just to have something to say to try and make a bad day better  
and though I didn't hang my head or harbor some silly wish to die  
I know that I will grieve a little    
every time I close my eyes and see you leave  
with the noon sun reflecting the tiny specks of rusty flecks that hug your shoulders  
   
There's a lady in the street belting out 'Time to say goodbye'
with a great voice for a sad song and the irony isn't lost on me
I join the crowd that's gathering around a puppeteer with a dancing wooden puppet      
    
My mind is still swimming in the remnants of last night's spirits  
still playing its scenes in a constant loop  
and I sure hope that when all is said and done  
there'll be at least one thing that keeps the craic alive  
on the cold days that border on mundane  
when the winds that threaten your window panes    
are switched for the warm glow of wherever it is you decide to go    
for the birth of times to come.  
   
but I've never felt so far from home,so destitute and so alone that it hurts to breathe    
and I'm nowhere near any place that I can just hide away put my face into my hands    
to block all these people that are crowding around the puppeteer and his dancing wooden puppet.  
   
   
   
   
*When you're far away I dream on the 'horizon and words fail, and yes, I know you're with me, with me, you, my moon, are here with me, my sun, you are here with me with me with me*
