WINTER'S BACK
(music and lyrics by Francesca Ortolani)
It seems to be a day of November
the sky is grey and gives birth to a ruthless wind
And on my skin I suddenly remember
the days when you and I stole secret hints
How can I through the touch of our skins say how you're important to me?
And how can I tear the sky apart and let the sunbeams in?
To warm your heart,
now that winter's back in a dreadful spell.
And now I lie unarmed in the cold earth
the sight of you is comfort for my bones
I want to pick a root, but I can't grab it
my hands are frozen like the sleeping stones
And how can I catch the silent breeze
and make it allied to me?
And how can I go through hedges of thorns
when you hold out your arm
you won't get hurt,
now that winter's back with its baleful wrath.
Where do all the animals run?
It's a threat coming from the clouds!
Hold me tight, don't let it bring me away
This wind's a foe, with spiked tentacles.
And how could I face the rage of the streams
and grab your hand strenuously?
And how could I put out hatred and flames
save my soul and my aims
we've entombed the Sun
and the bombs still shine in a blood-red dawn.
