preghiera (Signor Tamburino)

And take me disappearing 
through the smoke rings of my mind,
down the foggy ruins of time,
far past the frozen leaves,
the haunted frightened trees,
out to the windy bench,
far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow!
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky!
With one hand waving free,
silhouetted by the sea
circled by the circus sands,
with all memory of fate
driven deep beneath the waves,
let me forget about today 
until tomorrow...
