Testo di Spill

I wish I knew you when I was a kid How can my heart sleep? Your place is missing I could go back and uncover your lid What if it’s breaking? Can we awaken? And it’s waking me up. I felt the hum and it’s waking me up A skip like a double dutch A crack when the fiction’s lost A fourth time around the block I was misplaced and I’m making a spill The rebels blew through the walls where we live They stole my heartbeat -- that thieving stampede I swear I choked when they bartered to give It back for my mind, a child’s night time And it’s waking me up. I felt the hum and it’s waking me up When I was younger if I left it in the place I’m from could we go back there? After all the swimmers have come and all the wells dry up would you come back for me Ccould we go back there? I saw yellow, called it gold And the sky and cream I saw streets I’ll never know The smell of orange trees Watched your blazing city fold From a foreign screen Ran from days I’ll try to hold The words you sang to me Oh what a dream
