lago di bolsena

thought about leaving today

driving down to the lake

the lakeside it is black

I’ll be coming back

but please don’t ask me

why or where or when

you’re looking beautiful today

nothing else matters anyway

the lakeside it is black

we‘ll be coming back

but please don’t ask me

why or where or when



I’m here to stay

what can I say

all that is left decays

I’m here to say

why don’t you stay

it’s beautiful

drifting away

a single note rings on and on and on



the lake called us today

no use to refuse this anyway

the lakeside still is black

we won’t be coming back

but please don’t ask me

why 'cause you’re my friend



I’m here to stay

what can I say

all that is left decays

I’m here to say

why don’t you stay

it’s beautiful

drifting away

a single note rings on and on and on



the wind rips our sails

we’re drifting away

all that decays

will be here one day

will be here one day



I’m here to say

why don’t you stay

it’s beautiful

drifting away

a single note rings on and on and on

a single note rings on and on and on
