SHADOWS T&M di L.Burgalassi You can sit back and say They’re enough to do this job You can believe the world Is taking care of you, but when the roads you run turn narrow and cold, you must follow them alone. I've heard so many words telling me what to do all the help from friends teaching me what is true but every time I tried to understand, I find myself sitting with my head in my hands In her eyes I see new light growing step by step Through her eyes I see a bright sky I see a deep blue sea Tonight the moonlight seems to call my name she knows that I'm alone I know that she is alone Nobody knows, I trust, the pathway of one’s life; you see the moments changing, changing all the time; the only thing you find as right and true one day may fade away, too soon. In her eyes I saw a new light growing step by step Through her eyes I saw a bright sky I saw a deep blue sea Tonight the moonlight seems to call my name she knows that I'm alone I know that she is alone

Dust and Rust T&M di L.Burgalassi I feel like I’m on the corner of a street Waiting for someone I feel like at the end of a long dream Afraid of the dawn I am looking for a passage in the night i'm still searching for a light dust and rust is all I have and nothing more at all And I know and I think.... I believe that..... Something must have gone wrong What I dream, what I wonder, I hope now I really don’t know I’m already…or just twenty two How can I tell what is true? Now that you, you’re going away, you too I don’t even know what I’m loosing but I know... and I think... I believe that... Everything seems so wrong And I dream... and I wonder...I hope Now I really don’t know Who am I? What am I searching for? Does anyone really care? How much time? Tell me how long will I be alone? what I know.... what I think..... I believe that Everything could go wrong What I dream, what I wonder, I hope I really don’t know

Dark Cherries and Wine T&M di L.Burgalassi A dim light through the window’s curtain on our blankets and pillows. Outside the sparrows start singing at dawn and she’s still breathing on me. I can feel her skin on my skin The odour of wine, the sounds of the night The small room breathing with us Whispered words under the stars She was standing at the door Tasting a glass of red wine. Her glance up to the sky that warm summer night. Hard to tell her skin from my skin Her odour from mine, the scent of the night Her breath is my own but I know that soon We will be too far Lying on the cool sand faint fishermen’s lights Listening to the sea whisper that quiet summer night I know our candle is ceasing to burn I’m still not ready to leave. I'll never let anyone cancel these memories from me Her breath over me, her skin on my skin dark cherries and wine in the still of the night That small room falling with us Unspoken words sent to the stars

ORANGE ROOMS T&M di L.Burgalassi Blow out the candle lay down on our bed beside me dream of a new life away from here out of all these hells A little bit more just the last effort then we can reach out for the green Tuscan shore. Goodbye Orange Rooms goodbye “La Rotonde”, les boulevards, Aurevoir goodbye Paris goodbye Bittersweet, wandering nights Jeanne je t’aime are you afraid of loving me Jeanne you are the shadow of this shadow of a man Mille neuf cent vingt Janvier il pleut encore tu dis you will stay forever beside me Goodbye Orange Rooms goodbye “La Rotonde”, les boulevards, Aurevoir Goodbye Paris, goodbye Bittersweet, crazy nights Away from my night obsessions From all my hallucinations Dans les boulevards Jeanne ne pleurer pas Goodbye Orange Rooms goodbye “La Rotonde”, les boulevards, Aurevoir say goodbye to Paris goodbye to our bittersweet wandering nights

HIGHS & LOWS Luca Burgalassi I play this tune for you 'cause you know I’m in a funny kind’a mood. When I woke up this morning I was a bit hazed ‘cause all the time I was thinking about you. And I wrote down this song without much thought to the words I got this sweet blues playing inside’a me I know that every morning, I’ll be satisfied with my heart just beating for you Suddenly I miss you Just a minute seems to be too long for me to wait Today I've got these blues Hanging round inside’a me And I know It’s gonna be alright It’s a pretty strange, strange feeling Turning my Highs to Lows deep inside I feel fine 'cause when I wake up in the morning I'm happy to think that you could be dreaming of me It's funny I miss you Just a minute seems way long for me to wait Today I've got these Blues Hanging on all day with me but I know I’m going to be alright Pay no heed if I feel a bit down 'cause every summer’s got its rainy days The sun will shine soon Really I miss you Every moment seems to be too long for me to wait Today I've got these Blues spending all this time with me but I sure I’m gonna be alright

STARLESS NIGHT L.Burgalassi “Only a friend of mine” you say, here by my side Could I change your mind? Please give me one last chance Don’t go away. Would you stay with me... without asking why... just one more night On this riverside time quickly passes by when you're by my side. Will this be our last dance, Once you’ve gone away? Give me a reason why you can’t stay here Just one more night Night is falling and the city sleeps Night brings silence, all over the streets Dark clouds cover the sky On this Starless Night Night is falling and the city sleeps Night is coming all over the streets Dark clouds cover the sky On this Starless Night Now I realize time no longer passes by without you by my side. Had I opened my soul, Now you would be mine. Would you come back to me? help to brighten up Such a starless night

SHIPWRECK T. & M. L. Burgalassi It seems like a dream or some shadow of the past It seems... what it seems... Seems to be so far away Now tracks are lost they vanished soon I can go on again I feel like a ship sailing in no sea I feel... what I feel… I feel like everything is unreal Yes, tracks are lost They vanished fast I must go on and on and on again You are still not ready And I don’t want to fall I just need a place to go I don’t want this space anymore Nothing’s left to say If your game remains the same I feel like a ship sailing in no sea I feel... what I feel… I see that everything is so real Yes, tracks are gone They vanished soon I will go on and on and on alone You are still not ready You’re scared to fall I'll find a place to go I don’t want this cage anymore Nothing’s left to say If your game remains this game

Fragments 04:11

FRAGMENTS T&M di L.Burgalassi On my knees trying to pick up the broken pieces from the ground Since our porcelain building shattered on the floor And every fragment is a new wound needing to be cured And every fragment Is just A fragment to forget And you? Are you in front of the mirror, frozen criticized by your own image pretending to defend yourself when no one’s there attacking you? Now I find small pieces everywhere at every step I’m afraid to cut myself Purity Was equilibrium And you knew It could break down easily To rebuild Is not easy Not as clear as before Everything anytime May crumble down again And you? Are you inside the mirror Still criticizing your own image and still attacking who is no longer defending?
