Grace
There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Though it's my time coming, I'm not afraid, afraid to die
My fading voice sings of love,
But she cries to the clicking of time,
Of time
Wait in the fire...
And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow,oh my love
And the rain is falling and I believe
My time has come
It reminds me of the pain I might leave
Leave behind
Wait in the fire...
It reminds me of the pain I might leave
leave behind...
And I feel them drown my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
But I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow
Wait in the fire...
La donna cannone
I'll throw my huge heart among the stars one day
I swear that I will
and over the blue of the tent I will fly
When the cannon lady of gold
and silver will become
without passing through the station
she will take the last train.
In the face of evil and proud people my name will shine bright
the gates of the night
the day will hold
applause of the paying public will underline it
and from the mouth of the cannon a song will sound.
And with my hands, my love I'll hold your hands
and without saying a word in my heart I'll carry you.
And do not be afraid
if I'm not as beautiful as you say
but we'll soar into the sky, flesh and bones, we'll not return, never never.
And with no hunger, no thirst, no wings and no net we will fly away.
So the cannon lady
huge mystery flew
all alone into the dark sky set off.
All closed their eyes in the exact moment she disappeared
other swearing that they had never been there.
And with my hands, my love I'll hold your hands
and without saying a word in my heart I'll carry you.
And I'll have no fear if I'll not be beautifoul as you say
but we'll soar into the sky, flesh and bones we'll not return.
And with no hunger, no thirst, no wing no safety net we ll fly away.
