To
Feel In Love
(Battisti-Mogol-Powell)
To feel in love
Is life and living
You meet someone
And you start breathing
A quietly stolen glance
Could be another chance
Don't listen if you fear
And go now that she's near
To feel in love
Is growing younger
You're not alone
No pain no hunger
Don't hide what worries you
Be what you are and do
And for a time you may
Keep loneliness away
But now but now
To really love someone
To give to take to share
It's as hard you know
As flying in troubled air
Up down and blown around
The tears and pain that passed
That's how it had to be
To feel as one at last
Really one at last
One soul I mean
To live and hold each day
So very near
But yet so far away
But now but now
To really love someone
To give to take to share
It's as hard you know
As flying in troubled air
To feel as one at last
Really one at last
One soul I mean
To live and and hold each day
So very near
But yet so far away
A
Song To Feel Alive
(Battisti-Mogol-Powell)
In a world like this
Nothing more to do
I've got a song to feel alive
It's you
I see eternity
Shining in the skies
Far beyond the universe
Of your eyes
A feeling with no fears
Is born among the tears
And flying high above it all
It goes
Soaring over all the accusations
Over prejudice and affectations
Our need for love will grow and stay
Showing us the way
In a world like this
One day we'll find a home
Everyone's confined
Where wild roses have been sown
A song to feel alive and free
Blooms that fall
Is you and me
They'll seem to call
The image of the truth
The woods are all abandoned
Is naked there to see
Overgrown by neglect and misery
It speaks of a reality
But we will see
That will be
Their mystery
All the new sensations
Are young and true emotions
They express their clarity
For us
The phantom shapes of a forgotten past
Will fall away and we will see at last
Our need for love will grow and stay
Showing us the way
And I'll discover you
I'll discover you
Oh sweet companion
Who doesn't know where to go or what to do
Or by whose side you'll be
Look and you'll see
One day we'll find a home
Where wild roses have been sown
Blooms that fall
They'll seem to call
The woods are all abandoned
Overgrown by neglect and misery
But we will see
Their mystery
In a world like this
Nothing more to do
I've got a song to feel alive
It's you
I see eternity
Shining in the skies
Far beyond the universe
Of your eyes
All the new sensation
Are young and true emotions
They express their clarity
For us
The phantom shapes of a forgotten past
Will fall away and we will see at last
The Only Thing I've Lost
(Battisti-Mogol-Powell)
Can you tell me what has changed
Since our lives were rearranged?
i don't think so
Can you tell me what we gained
Since we parted what remained?
I don't think so
I'm older it's true
And the only thing I've lost is you
I'm older it's true
And the only thing I've lost is you
I played football on Sunday
And was sore all day monday
But I'm still playing
As a child I tried to be
So many things you see
I'm still trying
I'm older it's true
And the only thing I've lost is you
I'm older it's true
And the only thing I've lost is you
I said we would love forever
I guess I wasn't very clever
I wasn't thinking
It was a time in our lives
It's gone and we survived
I'm older it's true
And the only thing I've lost is you
I'm older it's true
And the only thing I've lost is you
Can you tell me what has changed
Since our lives were rearranged?
I don't think so
Can you tell me what we gained
Since we parted what remained?
I don't think so
I'm older it's true
I'm older it's true
I'm older it's true
Keep
On Cruising
(Battisti-Mogol-Powell)
I've got a friend who's a genius
He'll know exactly what to do
He can make it all like new
Given half a chance he'll do amazing things
It's all described in manuals
The logic's very sound
He'll adjust what's wrong with you
And make your motor pound
And again you can get moving
Though not exactly flying
At least cruising.
Keep on cruising
Keep it light keep it tight not confusing
And don't listen to fears
Or be blinded by tears
Very softly very softly so soothing
Now just keep right on cruising
First with caution then acceleration
With a pulsing beat a good vibration
Pushing forward keep it sweetly moving
Now you know you are cruising
And at night your light's illuminating
Watch the signals and you'll know positively where you're going
You can do it it's so easy
You can do it let it go
I've got a friend who's a genius
He'll know exactly exactly what to do
He can make it all like new
Giving you the right solution
Substitution
Everything will come together
And you know it's going to fit
You'll be a better judge of people
Those who stand from those who sit
And again you can get moving
Though not exactly flying
At least cruising.
Keep on cruising
Keep it light keep it tight not confusing
And don't listen to fears
Or be blinded by tears
Very softly very softly so soothing
Now just keep right on cruising
First with caution then acceleration
With a pulsing beat a good vibration
Pushing forward keep it sweetly moving
Now you know you are cruising
And at night your light's illuminating
Watch the signals and you'll know positively where you're going
You can do it it's so easy
You can do it let it go
Now you know you are cruising
Cruising
The
Sun Song
(Battisti-Mogol-Powell)
Your long blonde hair and eyes of baby blue
Bright colors never fading
The blush of childhood on your downy cheek
The days of hide-and-seek
The secret places we arranged to be
The things you felt but couldn't see
The sandy footprints as you shyly fled
Oh no now summer's gone away we are older
Where have you been what have you done till now?
You're a woman a woman tell me
What do you mean that you're a woman at last?
How many arms have been around you?
Did they change you in the past?
So what don't tell me you're moving too fast
Do you remember tossed in waves of white?
Green stones where water flows free?
What color are your eyes speckled in light?
I'll never ask you'll never tell me
Oh sad old ocean sad old ocean jaded sea
You were as pure as the innocence in me
Oh sad old ocean sad old ocean jaded sea
You were as pure as the innocence in me
The bicycles
We left abandoned on the top of the hill
Lying together under the trees
Flowers the pages of your scrapbook fill
So happy in that summer breeze
An awkward silence that you seem to fear
A look i couldn't understand
The flowers falling as i draw near
Oh no don't hold me back don't raise your hand
Where have you been what have you done till now?
You're a woman a woman tell me
What do you mean that you're a woman at last?
How many arms have been around you?
Did they change you in the past?
So what don't tell me you're moving too fast
Can you recall the waves and summer skies?
The spray from surfing in the sea?
What light flickers deep in your eyes?
Is the flame still burning? I can't see
Oh sad old ocean sad old ocean jaded sea
You were as pure as the innocence in me
Oh sad old ocean sad old ocean jaded sea
You were as pure as the innocence in me
When the bright rays of the morning sun burst into the night
The early day breaks over us with clear warm light
The shadows and the phantoms of the dark turn into trees and
blossoms
Truth once more rejects the lies
And love becomes the light that's shining still in your eyes
There's Never Been A Moment
(Battisti-Mogol-Powell-Hunter)
Wheels on hissing asphalt
Driving down your way
On the telephone you told me
Half-past two would be okay
Something in the way you talked
The way you made me feel
I can't explain just what it is
You sounded so unreal
What is it that has happened?
Is there something on your mind?
No it just can't be this way
I couldn't be so blind
The traffic's moving slowly
My mind is moving fast
Recalling conversations
Reflecting on the past
The words we said together
The pauses in between
You said "I think we need to talk"
I wonder what it means
There's never been a moment
When we didn't care
I'll simply say I love you
When I see you there
And yet I know there's something else
Very hard for me to see
But it seems it's overtaken you
Does it have to do with me?
The crowds of faceless people
Moving everywhere
The lights are all against me
I wonder when I'll get there?
There's never been a moment
When we didn't care
I'll keep repeating thoughts of you
To bring you clearly into view
I see your eyes
And something inside me cries
What can be wrong?
There's never been a moment
When we didn't care
I'll simply say I love you
When I see you there
And yet I know there's something else
Very hard for me to see
But it seems it's overtaken you
Does it have to do with me?
The crowds of faceless people
Moving everywhere
The lights are all against me
I wonder when I'll get there?
There's never been a moment
When we didn't care
I'll keep repeating thoughts of you
To bring you clearly into view
There's never been a moment
When we didn't care
I'll simply say I love you
When I see you there
Only
(Battisti-Mogol-Powell)
Only
Only for a moment
Falling
In some other dream
Someone else beside me
Not you
Though we're not together now
I know I'll be
More in love with you
Like an airplane
Circling in the mist
Solitary spirals in the air
Seeking runways that we've missed
Nothing more to fear
We're there
Just below the clouds
The love we have is ours to share
Something in the spring
A few short years ago
Touched us has grown and overwhelmed us
that may be why we hide
our memories deep inside
for in the winter winds
Such little things
Will warm and reassure us
Only
But only for a moment
When least expected
Confusion
Disillusion
And at times we're strangers
And you get lonely
Like me
It really doesn't matter
I know it can only
Make me love you more
And you get lonely
Lonely like me
I know it can only
Make me love you more
