inverno

Lo so che è ancora estate, eppure i brani che continuo ad ascoltarmi di più negl ultimi giorni sono
WHITE AS SNOW e WINTER degli U2, le più belle dal loro ultimo bellissimo disco.
Ecco qua il testo di Winter.

The yellow sun

Well it took the hand

Of a country boy

To a city in a far off land.



We made no mark

No shadow at all

On the ancient holy streets

Where I learned to crawl.



Looking at the bruised

The young and the used

The sure and confused all here



Birds will land on me

Then abandon me

Mangle, untangle me

Leave me on the floor


Rhymes they sprang in me

Summer sang in me

But summer sings in me no more.



Now I'm 25

I'm trying to stay alive

In a corner of the world

With no clear enemies to fight.


It's hot as hell

We're like butter on toast

But there's no army in this world

That can fight a ghost.



Looking at the bruised

The young and the used

The sure and confused all here



Birds will land on me

Then abandon me

Leave me stranded

[..] on the door.


Rhymes began in me

Summer sang in me

But summer sings in me no more.


Oooh



At 21

I was born a son

And on that day I knew

I could kill.


To protect the ones

Who put bullets in guns

Or anything it takes

To take a life.
