Sun Song - LA STRADA

Out into the sunlight

You got your cap on

You’re feeling alright

You left your self-possessed night

You’re twenty-one

Back in your father’s garden

A hand reaches

through the fountain

You’re not afraid

to open the door

anymore

You’ve woken from a deep sleep

You’re walking down the road

There’s so much to do

And the hills

They’ve turned a sudden blue

You look down

You’ve lifted off the ground

There’s a photograph

In your room

Of a child

In full bloom

He’s singing

A familiar tune

You’re twenty-one.

And you’re sailing over your native town

The morning bells are ringing

You see her in a gown

But your body’s like red balloom

You keep on rising

You’ll be in the sun soon
