lyrics

Windowed train, under the rain,
slipping around with a sort of pain,
I don't have a word to define it all,
except the usual one: “Home”.
I was born in a place not far from the sea
where sailors came by exchanging ideas,
then I went away to search for the goal
of my life in this stupid world.

I found hypocrisy and lack of ideas
from people who cared only about themselves,
so I took a train and then once again,
as long as I couldn't find a smile.

But I'd like to find the smell of the sea
as I used to enjoy when I was a kid,
but every place fails with my own beliefs,
I think there's no town as it is
that I could call home (at least not for me),
because I am made of too many dreams,
the world as it is cannot fit for me:
I need a few more things, a flavour that I miss.

And the train is full, that is what I need,
all people around are going to somewhere,
they don't speak a lot and I can't understand,
I feel kind of alien when I search for my home.

Another bird sitting down on the streets,
a fresh drop of rain makes it fall asleep,
all the windows around hiding out anyone,
in a city with no secrets to share.

And I am here with pain into my brown shoes,
leaving out from a wet sandy dune,
and I write a new poem made of words
out of nothing, I know I'm already lost.

Wooden chairs, fear of moving again,
and the sky is smoking a cigarette,
managing to get angry all at once,
wintertime is approaching a new day.
