Ci Vorrebbe Il Mare

We need the sea
That caresses our feet
As we walk
To a place you can't see
We need the sea
On this concrete
We need the sun
With its gold and silver heat

And for this love
Child of a summer
We need the salt
To heal the wounds
Of white smiles
Between pink lips
Counting stars
While the sky takes a nap

We need the sea
To dive deep
Now that you’re leaving me
Like a package for the world to keep
We need the sea
With its storms
To pound again
Hard against your windows

We need the sea
In our lives
To keep your fingers
Outside like a flower
So I could pick and save your love
But to do it again, I swear
We need the sea

We need a sea
To shipwreck in
Like those strange stories of dolphins
That come ashore to die close together
And no one knows why
How I wish to do
My love, with you

We need the sea
To dive deep
Now that you’re leaving me
Like a package for the world to keep
We need the sea
With its storms
To pound again
Hard against your windows

We need the sea
Where there’s no love, the sea
In this world that needs remaking

We need the sea
We need the sea
We need the sea
We need the sea
