E se mio figlio sapesse già parlare mi direbbe Tu, tu come stai stasera, ti senti solo, vuoi che resti con te? Ma sì, parliamo un po', io dormire no, proprio no Dai camminiamo insieme per questa strada vuota E dimmi tutto di te, della tua vita, dai comincia tu Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Sono figlio di questa lunga notte nera e poi Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Vivo in quella strana casa con mio padre e mia madre e ho Dieci fratelli, stessi occhi scuri, stessi capelli Andiamo a caccia di notte come i gatti neri Ci troviamo sopra i tetti tutti quanti Sotto una grande luna che Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Che mio padre ogni sera corre fuori a guardare mentre Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Mia madre è lì alla finestra, guarda sempre lontano Quella coda di fuoco quando passa un'aeroplano (Passa un'aeroplano) Lei vorrebbe salire, sì, vorrebbe partire, poi sparire lontano (Sparire lontano) Poi ogni sera resto solo, come stasera resto solo Si potrebbe andare al cinema o mangiare un gelato Poi si blocca, sorride, potessi dargli un bacio, presto dammi un bacio Se lui avesse già le orecchie per potermi ascoltare E una testa in mezzo da accarezzare, gli direi Io, io sono un uomo, tutti mi chiamano Joe Temerario Faccio mille acrobazie con il mio aeroplano Diecimila volte ho già toccato il cielo Perché come un falco io Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Arrivo a tremila metri e poi mi butto giù in picchiata Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Ma che emozione ogni volta sfidare la vita Rotolando nel cielo sopra il mio aeroplano (Sopra il mio aeroplano) Con la gente che impazzisce e applaude e io dal finestrino La saluto con la mano (Saluto con la mano) Ma ogni sera resto solo, anche stasera sono solo Cosa dici, andiamo al cinema, magari a fare un volo Ma perché non sorridi? Presto, dammi un bacio Dai presto, dammi un bacio

I stepped out onto the midway I was looking for the pirate ship and saw this small, old white tent at one end It was blue and had white lights hanging all around it I decided to check out the tent, it seemed I could hear music coming from inside As I walked toward it, I passed a crowd of people at the sideshow I couldn't figure out why they would want to wait in line I pulled back the drape thing on the tent There was a crystal ball at the table, and behind it, a girl wearing a hat She smiled me, and asked me if I wanted my fortune read I said okay and sat down I thought about it for a minute and asked her If she would rather go on the rollercoaster instead Creeping up into the sky Stopping at the top and starting down The girl grabbed my hand, I clutched it tight I said good-bye to the ground Far below, a soiled man A bucket of torn tickets at his side He watches as the children run by and cleans his teeth Spinning 'round, my head begins to turn I shouted and searched the sky for a friend I heard the fortune teller screaming back at me We stuck out our hands and met the winds The girl falters as she steps down from the platform She clutches her stomach and begins to heave The ticket-taker smiles and the last car is ready Who told you that you could leave? The sun was setting by the time we left We walked across the deserted lot alone We were tired, but we managed to smile At the gate, I said goodnight to the fortune teller The carnival sign threw colored shadows on her face But I could tell she was blushing

Goodnight my love Remember me as you fall to sleep Fill your pockets with the dust and the memories That rises from the shoes on my feet I won't be back here Though we may meet again I know it's dark outside Don't be afraid Everytime I ever cried from fear Was just a mistake that I made Wash yourself in your tears And build your church On the strength of your faith Please Listen to me Don't let go Don't let this desperate moonlight leave me With your empty pillow Promise me the sun will rise again I too am tired now Embracing thoughts of tonight's dreamless sleep My head is empty My toes are warm I am safe from harm...

"Let me in," the voice cried softly From outside the wooden door Scattered remnants of the ship could be seen in the distance Blood stained the ice upon the shore "I'm the only one left, the storm took them all" He managed as he tried to stand The tears ran down his face "Please, it's cold" When he woke, there was no trace of the ship Only the dawn was left behind by the storm He felt the creaking of the stairs beneath him That rose, from the sea to the door There was a sound at the window then The captain started, his breath was still Slowly, he turned From behind the edge of the windowsill There appeared a delicate hand of a child His face was flushed and timid He stared at the captain through frightened eyes The captain reached for something to hold on to "Help me," he whispered, as he rose slowly to his feet The boy's face went pale He recognized the sound Silently, he pulled down the shade against the shadow Lost in the doorstep of the empty house "I'm trying to find my way home I'm sorry, I miss you I miss you I've grown taller now" "I want the police to be notified" "But I swear, with this song, I'll make it up to you I'll make it up to you I'll make it up to you I miss you I miss you Oh, I miss you I miss you"
