TESTO
Confuso galleggiava 
Cercando la sua strada 
Pensando a quel sorriso
Di quando era partito 



E la notte non passava
Col vento un po’ sospeso
Parlò col primo uomo
Lasciandolo sorpreso
Sai perché sono qua 
Il sogno mi rende libero 
Lo so non mi giudicherai 
Siamo due storie da scrivere 


E quanta storia da scrivere
Per chi come te 
Non vive mai
Quanta ne scriverai 
E adesso dei sogni ti occuperai 





Lo so per te è strano 
Ma non sei tu il
Fallito
Soltanto per il fatto
Che non mi punti il dito 
Non mi hai guardato male 
Né dall’alto al basso
Sei solo inciampato 
Come molti sul mio passo





Sai ti ho capito già
Sei uno con troppa sensibilità 
E non sai quanto , quanto ti costerà 
Ma quante pagine che scriverai 



Quanta storia da scrivere 
Per chi come te
Non vive mai
Quanta ne scriverai 
E adesso per i sogni combatterai 



Ma in fondo sai
Siamo simili 
Ma non hai ancora perso come me
Chissà se questo mondo mi ricorderà 
Chissà se questo incontro ti servirà 


Quanta storia da scrivere 
Per chi come te
Non vive mai
Quanta ne scriverai 
E adesso per i sogni combatterai

LYRICS
He floated bewildered
Searching for his way
Thinking of that smile
From when he had departed
And the night wouldn't pass
With the wind somewhat suspended
He spoke with the first man
Leaving him surprised
Do you know why I'm here?
The dream makes me free
I know you won't judge me
We have two stories to write

And so much history to write
For someone like you
Who never truly lives
How much will you write?
And now you will take care of your dreams

I know it's strange for you
But you are not the failure
Just because you don't point your finger at me
You didn't look at me badly
Not from top to bottom
You just stumbled
Like many in my path.
You see, I already understand you
You're someone with too much sensitivity
And you don't know how much, how much it will cost you
But how many pages you will write

How much history to write
For someone like you
Who never truly lives
How much will you write?
And now you will fight for your dreams

But deep down you know
We're similar
But you haven't lost like me yet.
Who knows if this world will remember me
Who knows if this encounter will serve you

How much history to write
For someone like you
Who never truly lives
How much will you write?
And now you will fight for your dreams

La Storia Da Scrivere

Written @ 19 years… I’m now 53.., still seems relevant!Hope you enjoy!! If you “ know”… you will know the lyrics I lifted from various places!!😎

Long ago, it was long ago
I promised you in a letter
I would always be your comforter and friend 
Now the times they’re changing 
And it’s time that I made a change 
Cause you know that the end it’s coming soon 

Chorus 
￼ If it wasn’t so I would’ve told you
Things will happen. All just the way they’re planned. 
If you yourself, find yourself
Found that you’ve hit the bottom 
There’s always more room at the top 

Before the Son has risen 
When the sky burns a fiery red
You’ll see, many will see,see and fear

I had a conversation 
And it was all accounted for 
All of this, this will pass away 
And what’s more?
What’s knocking at your door? 

Such a common sight to see
What we’ve all been waiting for
Another rhyme without a reason
Another scheme…￼
But don’t let this elude you 
Don’t ever let it slip away 
I promise you I am coming back again 

Long ago, it was long ago in a room at the top 

Take this message to my love 
My love, love of my life 
All I have it’s all I have and it’s yours for free

Room At The Top

You are the one
You are the one
Who took a chance
On this romance

I am the one
Who was on the run
I had some baggage
I was hiding the damage

I can’t resist
This feeling of bliss
Living with you
The things we’ve been through

I like how you take
The things that I break
And help me accept it
You know I respect it

I don’t believe in angels
Flying ‘round on wings
I’ve looked at all the angles
Considered everything
I believe it when they say
There’s a lot of fish in the sea
But at the risk of using a cliche
I believe you’re the one for me

Music and lyrics by David Wagoner

You Are The One

Lost In Your Eyes

I wanna be 
Lost in your eyes awhile
I could drown in your ocean for days
I could die in your arms and die happy
I wanna be lost in your eyes
Lost in your eyes

I've never been one for looking back
I'm more likely to just rewrite the past
And lie to myself rather than let nostalgia lie to me
But lately I admit every now and then
I kinda catch myself remembering
The feeling that I'd get and wish I could get lost again

I wanna be 
Lost in your eyes awhile
I could drown in your ocean for days
I could die in your arms and die happy
I wanna be lost in your eyes
Lost in your eyes

Not much of a boy to get in my feels
Compartmentalize & pretend I've healed
But butterflies in colors you love can do things to me
And butterflies find me in places strange
Just living my life doing things mundane
Interupting it all with a thought of getting lost again

I wanna be 
Lost in your eyes awhile
I could drown in your ocean for days
I could die in your arms and die happy
I wanna be lost in your eyes
Lost in your eyes
Till I'm saved

Lost In Your Eyes

Almost Famous

Broken glass  (Verre brisé) V2

Del Wags is the music of Dave Wagoner: a collection of homemade tunes meant to please no particular demographic. Dave is a one- man show of rhythm guitar loops recorded in the basement, choruses born in the shower, lyrics written on the couch, and tracks mixed on the laptop (and the occasional cover). Go ahead, tap your feet.

I played only acoustic guitar and harmonica for many years, playing the same covers alone and occasionally with friends. I never thought I wanted an electric guitar or lots of music gear because I didn't want to accumulate more things. In 2019 by chance I obtained a cheap electric guitar from a friend, and my life changed as this new tool unlocked a creative door. During Covid I bought a looper and a keyboard and began teaching myself to play it, and the creative door flew wide open. I challenged myself to ride the learning curve of home computer music production. I re-tapped into my poetry-writing brain from high school and songs began flying out of me. I haven't been this creative since I was a teenager and it's pure joy.

I'm thankful to have a place here to share my creations, make connections with others, and hear so much unique and wonderful music and sound from people all over the world.
