1. LAST CHANCE

So here I stand in front of you
I finally gather my courage to come and explain
What I’ve been dying to tell you from ages
I guess it’s my last chance, the one I have to take

Tonight it’ll be too late, You’ll be gone, I’ll stay
Before the spell breaks, Listen to what I say

I’ll be there when you’re old
I’ll catch you when you fall
I’ll be the shoulder you can cry on
Forever and always
I’m trapped in your smile, oh
Can you feel the glow
Give me just one kiss, you will know

We’ve met each other a long time ago
We’ve been so close yet distant as our friendship grown
I never dared to confess to you my feelings have been so strong
You never had a clue

The time I’ve been dreading has ultimately come
You have met this girl, she has fell for you
You’re coming straight to me assuming I’d be so happy
For both of you, but you’re stabbing me


2. STAY

It's happening again, they're coming
When I turn off the light they start growing
They've been waiting for me to be alone
They know I can't face them on my own

I remember the time it was just you and I
Bounded tight together, feeling like one
Nothing could have stop us, future seemed so bright
I felt so secure with you by my side

Stay,
I need you so much, confident and strong
I promise I'll do my best and I'll fight
But stay around me for there is nothing
That I can't go through without your loving


I messed up it all without meaning it
By letting my fears putting me deep down
I never wanted to admit
That sooner or later you'll get tired of it

Stay,
I need you so much, confident and strong
I promise I'll do my best and I'll fight
But stay around me for there is nothing
That I can't go through without your loving

Stay, I don't know how long I can handle it
The creeping shadows, the shivering lights
Those cold waves of pain that fill my stomach
Please stay, hold my hand, tell me I'll be right

I 'm giving up, crying for help
Those muttering voices that scare me to death
Are now furiously screaming in my head
I beg you to stay before it's too late


3. ELEVATION

Above all ponds and above all dales
Over mountains, forests, clouds and seas,
Across the sun and across the ether
Beyond the edges of the starlit sphere,

My mind is moving with agility
As a good swimmer that swoons in the waters
It's going up and down the sheer immensity
With unutterable sensual manner

Get away far from these emanations
Cleanse yourself in the upper air
Soak up like it's pure divine potion
The clear fire that fills up the space

Behind huge troubles and massive sorrows
That load with their weight the misty existence
Glad is the one who can with his powerful wings
Thrust towards radiant and untroubled fields

The one whom thoughts, such as unbound swallow
At down towards skyward flies of easily
Who glides upon life ang get effortlessly
The language of flowers and of the silent things

Get away from these emanations
Cleanse yourself in the upper air
Soak up like it's pure divine potion
The clear fire that fills up the space


4. IF YOU HAD BEEN THERE

If you had been there, if you have cared ,
If you had taken time
I would be strong I would be sane,
I wouldn’t feel so forsaken
I guess it is too late and there’s no point to be,
For ever going back over the same old story
Now would you be proud?
Would you be pleased?
Do you only remember me
All I need to know is that you remember me

I have spent so much time trying to recollect,
All the smallest details about your voice and shape
I pictured you tall and strong, or rather coward and weak,
Anyway I’ll never know what you’re like

Why it happened to me, not to somebody else?
Have I done something wrong, am I the one to blame?
Who has taken my place, who is sharing your life,
Tell me who do you kiss goodbye at night

If you had been there, if you had cared,
If you had taken time
I would be strong I would be sane,
I wouldn’t feel so forsaken
I guess it is too late and there’s no point to be
For ever going back over the same old story
If you had been there we could have talk,
You could have hold my hand,
lead me through life, show me a way, be a model
If you had been there, if only you had cared,
You would have heard me
Scream for you at night and wiped away my tears
I wonder where you have been all these years
Tell me where have you been

I grew up on my own, I’ve always try my best,
Not to give in to pain, not to pity myself
Despite the void you have left in my life,
Despite the lack of love, my bleeding inside

Now that years have gone by, I’m coming to accept,
I should not brood over my few memories left
I will not jolt every time the phone rings, I won’ t ever expect you to appear
I will not ever expect you to appear

I’ll deal with my regrets, hope you will do with yours, I’ve been mourning for you far too long
And if there’re wounds that time cannot heal,
My scars’ll always remind me what I’ve been through

Now that I’ve raised myself, now that your part is done,
I start a new chapter, my new life has begun
You’re not in my present, you weren’t in my past,
You weren’t there at my first, I won’t be at your last


5. NOT OVER YET

She looks so old and feels so drained,
Her poor eyes staring into space
Her frail hands are slightly shaking while
She's brushing a damaged frame
She has been through such hurtful things
And by now can't recollect them
Nor the name of her own children,
The house they all used to live
Insidiously over the years the beloved faces have faded away
The black hole in her memory is spreading unavoidably

For all that it's not over yet
She may have changed
But she's still there, she's still there, among us
Struggling hard to find a way to stay grand
Despite the frustration and the pain,
The disease process which is fatally raging her brain
Her mind have not reach its end yet
Her heart remembers

Don't think she has no interest in life,
She's living hers in a daydream
In which she recreates romances,
Poems and songs from her sixteen
Her smile is not that different now from what by then it would have been
She appreciate more than ever feeling the sun caress her skin
She's still begging for tenderness,
Some more attention and loving

That's why it's not over yet
She may have changed
But she's still there, she's still there, among us
Struggling hard to find a way to stay grand
Despite the frustration and the pain,
The disease process which is fatally raging her brain
Her mind have not reach its end yet
Her heart remembers
