Memories of Forgotten Seasons

(All lyrics by Francesco Liccari)

 Desert Visions

Memories tied to big stones
Drowning in the bloody black sea
Bright days died in heavy storms
Broken hearts are the only things that I see

Bleedin’ beach in my eyes
Smell of death all around
Yells of children in my ears
Pieces of life strewn on the ground

Ah but now I’m too tired
I only wanna dream about
And I will get out of here somehow

Paths of skulls rained by remote towers
Caught in the cry of a sleepy puppeteer
Fire of the poor set by blind powers
Brought by winds of an impotent Jupiter

Forgotten memories in my hands
A resigned Jesus before me
White pages in the sand
Purified by a silent sea

Ah but now I’m too tired
I only wanna dream about
And I will get out of here somehow

Life

Tell me what is true
I want to know who I am
A part of an absurd crew
It doesn’t make any sense

Who will I forget?
Everything is unreal for me
What will I regret?
My eyes are useless to see

What am I?
A fast flame in the nothingness
A bitter smile in the loneliness

I’m alone in this illusion
I don’t know, where’s the way-out?
I’m the prisoner of delusion
In this confusing layout

Where am I?
In a lengthy dream lost
Invisible like a ghost

Why am I?
Never an answer
Never an answer

And then my words will disappear
From the world, from every ear

Rainy Night

I’m looking through the ground
And the rain’s falling on my eyes
As tears that die all around
Upon a leaf that here lies

Lightning violently blinds me
The water’s so cold at my feet
Fall’s humid air quickly grinds me
Before me only an endless street

This is my hell, that echoed in a well
Every sound is blowing up in my ears
And everything is burning with tears

The cold air slowly chokes me
I’m crying hidden by the rain
But you’re not playin’ a joke on me
I’m trembling with fear and pain

I’m feeling abandoned, all alone
Sooner or later the night will end
But ‘fore let me inter its bones
Even though the light isn’t my friend

This is my hell, that echoed in a well
Every sound is blowing up in my ears
And everything is burning with tears

I’m feeling abandoned, all alone
Sooner or later the night will end.

 

What Is Love (He’ll Never Know)

Listen my dear friend
How does it feel?
When you’re close to the end
When you’ve silence in your ears

Tell me please what is love
While you’re lookin’ from above

Love for me is only a whisper
That’s blowing from my past
Died so fast

Love for me is a fallin’ star
That burns and then falls
That is all

At the end is a black sky
A sort of a big lie

Tell me please what is love
While you’re lookin’ from above

Tell me my dear friend
I will never know
Not even at the end
On the loneliness row

Tell me please what is love
While you’re lookin’ from above

A Song For a Man

I still remember what you said, John
You always said that cities are cages
And now, now poor John is gone
Asleep, under old cold pages

He lived on the street with his dog
With broken memories in his bags
And a never-ending bottle of grog
To warm him with his mags

Oh this is my song for a bum
A song for a man
My sad song, oh yeah

I still remember what you said, John
You always said that cities are cages
They steal your soul and then you’re alone
They humble you only for lame wages

Everyone seems glad in his built-up life
With the patterns like chains
And the foolery that grow rife
He was sure only of the blood in his veins

Sad-Eyed Lady

Your black hair, your sad brown eyes
Now are a blurred picture in the fog
Your sweet face, your royal grace
Now are lost in the sunset’s light
The last gate before the night
Oh my sad-eyed lady, goodbye

You, you have never asked why
Living slowly day after day
At a quiet noon or under a bright moon
You are now a long way off from the light
On the other side of the gate of night
Oh my sad-eyed lady, goodbye

I’m full of memories of days gone by
Of ripped up songs, of obsessive thoughts
But where are you now? Maybe on the bow
Of a ship bound for another night
Where your eyes are the starlight
Oh my sad-eyed lady, goodbye

I’m full of memories of days gone by
I’d like to have you always near me
At a quiet noon or under a bright moon
I’m still searchin’, at the fall of night
For your eyes in the starlight
To my sad-eyed lady, goodbye
