IT WASN’T SO BAD

Young age was burning
and nights were out of bed.
All friends around me
and no one was sad.

Witnesses of sunshine,
child between men.
We followed the warm thing
and far was the death.

Let’s talk about today,
oh today…
Yes, once wasn’t so bad.

Was true this darling?
I cannot say,
if maybe the best dream
was a tree road to the bay.

As chill as now life is
but maybe we could say,
there was a blue sky
and now is so grey.

Let’s talk about today
Oh today…
Yes, once wasn’t so bad.

ANDREW

Andrew once found a place
where every street confused the way.
In Missouri he used to stay,
the show me State.
He worked on his parents’ farm
With his wife and their young son.

Andrew was born a man…

He arrived there by a plane,
brought so far for he’s a man.
“A man should kill a man once in his life”
the sergeant said.

Andrew was born a man..

Andrew played guitar
every night to keep fear far.
Some private sang the tune
under the stars, under the moon.
One day, patrolling the town,
a normal day, a normal gun,
Andrew was shot and killed 
and he fell down, like leaves in wind.

He fell down knowing that
it was the last day, it was the end.
Now he sleeps in the sand
So far away from his loved land.

Andrew was born a man..

TENNESSEE LOVE SONG

Mary walked outside the golden door
looking back towards her world.
Eagles flew in the sunset
like burning arrows,
as now her joy lets get there sorrow.

She still remember what it’s true,
a poor young girl can’t have the moon.

Mary is a woman of the past times
she works all day, not often cries.
Her boyfriend Ned is gone away
To find his fortunes, to find his way.

She still remember what it’s true,
a poor young girl can’t have the moon.

Mary looks for something
to calm her down.
She thinks that she’s been
just a pawn.
She prays her Saints
but they can’t hear,
‘cause love is something
they have too fear.

She still agrees what they said
a poor young girl goes well in bed.

And what about the little Steven?
The only gift she’s been given.
He wants her mummy to be so kind,
he wants the others not so blind.

Tennessee Love Song (DEMO)

LOVE YOU LIKE A STORM

I love you like a lion, 
like an ocean or a storm,
I love you like a mountain, 
like the clouds,
like a baby just born,
like the forest loves the sun,
like a rest after an hard work.
Like my time already gone,
like a river I love you.
I love you like an answer, like a doubt.
Like a father loves his son,
like a day on my own,
I love you like a flower, like my home.
Like the pagan Gods can love,
like the water when it’s blue,
like the sky we see above.
Like a woman I love you,
like the mornings with the dew,
I love you like a long haired friend.
Like a present from the Lord,
like the children like the snow,
I love all the nights spent along with you.

Love You Like A Storm (DEMO)

MARION

Marion bought her little house,
and found a job in Tennessee.
I can see her among the crowd,
can feel her arms around me.
Spending her spare time in the bookstores,
she’s never been abroad,
she just travelled with her mind,
but so many stories she knew.
Have you ever seen Marion?
Have you ever seen her cry?
Oh I miss my Marion, 
as the last snow misses the touch of the sun.

BALLAD OF A SAILOR
Staring at the forming of a storm
with no hope or fears.
Watching at crawling worms,
he spent this way the better years.

Wooded bed’s the only friend on board,
and chill the worse enemy to fight.
Thoughts run home but not a tear
is shed by him at night.

Ballad Of A Sailor (DEMO)

I WANT IT FULL

No stone unturned,
no regrets for me.
No places neglected 
in some long journey.
I want to know all
about the smells,
I want touch everything
that grows on Earth.
No tears to damn me
when end will come
no clouds to bar me
from the warm sun,
and music loud across my ears
like a prelude of something near.
I want it full, 
I want it warm,
I want a life 
of different forms.
No days lost in some silly search
of something stupid on the edge,
no sleep in rich rooms
no stylish clothes
just a quite dream
among the straw.
I want..
No stone unturned,
no regrets for me.
No places neglected 
in some long journey.
I won't stop me now
that shoes are new
I will plung one day
in seas of blue.
