In Moonlight ("Canto Popolare"), Op. 50
Lyrics
Yeah (stop, stop, stop, stop) You'll only get your wings wet Oh, oh, (oh, oh...) ooooh (stop, stop, stop, stop) As the day falls into darkness, you come up to me quietly You save me from a nightmare, but before I'm aware you seem to fade away (as if you were never there) It's just as if I've lost you, you, you The night sky's empty, silent... out there nothing moves So, baby, hold on I need to be with you, but the distance between us is so vast that I don't know what to do You're showered by the glow of the moonlight It's so enchanting; can't get you out of my mind Frozen like an image; barely in sight, but there forever Can't reach out to touch you or to hold you in my arms Even if I close my eyes, I can never dream of you 'Cause you're not here with me; you're not in my story It only hurts, the more I try to get to you I know this needs to stop, stop, stop, stop, yeah I know I need to stop, stop, stop, stop, yeah I let you go without calling out to you 'cause I'm scared my tears, baby, will only get your wings wet No matter what I say to you, you don't hear me And you're with someone else now already Why are you doing this to me? (If your heart is hurting) that's not what you should do You're still the one that's in my heart, so if you're hurting, I am too You're showered by the glow of the moonlight It's so enchanting; can't get you out of my mind Frozen like an image; barely in sight, but there forever Can't reach out to touch you or to hold you in my arms Even if I close my eyes, I can never dream of you 'Cause you're not here with me; you're not in my story It only hurts, the more I try to get to you I know this needs to stop, stop, stop, stop, yeah I know I need to stop, stop, stop, stop, yeah I let you go without calling out to you 'cause I'm scared my tears, baby, will only get your wings wet You hide your pain underneath a smile even though you've been hurting for a long while I see the trembling of your fragile wings I can tell you're suffering I'm telling you You can stay here, right by my side I'll keep you safe with me, you'll be fine I'll hold you 'til dawn, and following the moon, you can fly to tomorrow Don't look back, yeah Can't reach out to touch you or to hold (oh) you in my arms (whoo) Even if I close my eyes, I can never dream of you (oh) 'Cause you're not here with me; you're not in my story It only hurts, the more I try to get to you (I swear I cannot stop loving) I know this needs to stop, stop, stop, stop, yeah I know I need to stop, stop, stop, stop, yeah (tonight, yeah) I let you go without calling out to you 'cause I'm scared my tears, baby, will only get your wings wet (stop, stop, stop, stop) You'll only get your wings wet You'll only get your wings wet (stop, stop, stop, stop) You'll only get your wings wet (You'll only get your wings wet) You'll only get your wings wet (stop, stop, stop, stop...) You'll only get your wings wet
