Via Margherita

from Selvacava by LAPP

lyrics

The procession moves on to Ausonia
Aria’s on the rooftops watching on
Pina, I could never bring myself
To ever be the one to call her down
She would wear your high heeled boots
Always put them on the wrong way ‘round
You only see yourself getting older
In the innocent eyes of a child

And she’s up there hailing all the town passing by
And I catch you hiding a little tear in your eye
I don’t know why I always think about that time

I wonder why oh baby, baby
Why are these summer nights forever in my mind?
They embrace me and they take me, take me
Take me through alleyways of where I bared my soul
When I was young, they saved me
Now they break me

Are you born to lose?
Ask me all your questions
I ain’t got your answers
I just wanna see what stirs you inside
You can choose
Call it liberation
Revel in the mystery
Or harm the very soul that yearns to survive
As the procession drifts away
I’m by the olive tree in the garden where we played
Outside my home

Inside the walls that I know
Empty rooms of our lives
All the voices in the halls
They rise then they fall
Bye bye, oh, baby, goodbye
All that was is now gone
And I’ve stayed here far too long
You’re outside watching on

Do you remember I would meet you on a Saturday night?
Your eyes would unveil as all the fireworks climbed
Up the stone walls where I’d hide
I saw you
And now we’re all that’s left in the middle of the road
With these spaces in between and just these memories that grow Have they changed or have they stayed the same In this world inside my head and my dreams?
Oh, I’ve lived my life in this place that was my home
And it ain’t here no more

My angel cries, “Baby, baby
Baby, there’s a world there in every step you take But you’ll miss it if you stay here Don’t wait here!
Selvacava will always have your heart
So go out and make a world of your own now”

I stand alone in Margherita way
I breathe in and I call out your name
The echoes ring around these walls
Each one a lifetime long
They ring loud and then they fall
I wait there ’til there’s one
Giuseppina
Darling, I'll be gone
