Alfa Berlina |
In the fullness of time, when it’s all waxed and waned |
and the cycle’s complete maybe it’ll make sense at last, |
all the strangeness explained, all the stories discrete. |
Maybe then it’ll all be clear. |
I’ve got a Iifetime’s library of unreliable mementoes |
and I could show you one or two |
if it’s of interest, it’d be an education |
for me to simply talk you through |
how I wore my innocence as some kind of novelty |
as if I didn’t know |
between the devil and the deep blue sea |
lay the fire down below. |
All sense of caution was abandoned in the moment, |
our eagerness to claim the day. |
The dice we rolled would take us anywhere |
and there were no excuses left to stay. |
This was the time, this was the chance to go |
and do it in some style. |
Just turn your face up to the summer sun |
and drive a thousand miles |
in an Alfa Berlina. |
I saw a wolf high on the mountain pass, |
the stars were tumbling end to end. |
I knew I’d never feel as free as this again. |
The sea below us like a looking-glass, |
we drifted through the hair-pin bends |
in the Alfa Berlina. |
So very long ago, so far away, |
it’s all time out of mind |
but when I think about the way it was |
we were recklessly alive |
in the Alfa Berlina. |
In the fullness of time I can look back and say |
I first fell on my feet |
in the Alfa. |
