lyrics

Angelina, there’s your smile
Settle down, I ain’t lost
Yeah, I know it’s been some time
Send me away
Say his name in vain
But say it one last time
Sometimes it takes a little while to know where you belong

In the evening up the stairway of stone
Families join the parade
The footsteps I made as a child I can barely make now
Your shining light
My shadow quelled
In this heavenly place
Angelina, if you will
Come wander with me tonight

The old guard do that saltarello in Heroes’ Square
La Sagra Laina E Ceci
In my blood
A fair awaits
The food stall brawls sound where the mule track fades
By the cross that sits on Fammera
Our Lorenzo stands

He sold his guitar for a piece of his own
And while his family sleep
He stands alone in the hallway
And listens to the rain
The sounds of the rain
Sounds of the rain
Sounds of the rain
Sounds of the rain
Sounds of the rain
Sounds of the rain
Sounds of the rain

Angelina, little Marco dances round and round and round and round
Meanwhile in the church of Correano
Maria breaks down in the nave
His footsteps on the marble
Ring like the bell off the fresco walls
Every time I lay my head down
It wrangles my soul

The pinewood sky hides time in its silhouette arms
It masquerades in silence, freezing the ground we’ve settled upon
I drifted in on a summer’s day
A vision I tried to steal
I couldn’t shake it
And when I left, I really thought that you'd be still singing the same song to me as a child

Tell me, Angelina
Your merciful eyes
If I were brave enough to look at my own face
You’d never be in doubt
For all the nights that are bygone
For the moments found
And the horror that entails
Angelina, say it one last time
For I am home

Angelina
Angelina
Up the side of the mountain
Where the mule track fades
Through the heather
Through the evergreen
Through the beech trees
All the way up Fammera
Where the buzzards fly and the falcons fly
Over the Tyrrhenian Sea
All the way to the sea
I wanna fade with the mist
Into the sea
Fade with the mist
Into the sea
Into the sea

All the things I wish I'd always known
All the things I wish I'd always known
All the things I wish I'd always known
All the things I wish I'd always known
All the things I wish I'd always known
All the things I wish I'd always known
All the things I wish I'd always known
All the things I wish I'd always known
I must let them go
I must let them go
I must let them go
I must let them go
