In this terribly smart world
I decided long time ago to remain lunatic
I said, let's be at least one
who everyone was laughing at
...
See, just like that, we woke up one morning
not even thinking about what was happening yesterday
and what could really be tomorrow
on some wet ground, beneath the naked stars
...
you ask me: why I love you? yes, you? to me absolutely unknown being? but you don't ask me how deep are those eyes of yours? and how can a living man not feel what burns inside those eyes? so festive. and warm.
...
See, how I love you: like birds
which get on the trip over the oceans
not counting the time and the distance
not even how much energy they would need
...
I've dreamt of dreaming 'bout you
And in the core of that dream
There I stood
The dream was blank
