Certe Cose Si Fanno

Certain things happen
when you can't sleep
when the moon comes
and asks you to go out,
without getting out of bed
you climb over the windowsill
and fly without wings
and you can't get hurt.
The town that's sleeping
won't see you pass by
but it's not really sleeping
it'll feel you arrive
and you're in its bed
and you weigh on its heart
and you call it by name
and you shout your love
you ride it laughing
like a wave in the sea
and you leave it exhausted
as dawn starts to break.

Certain things happen

Certain things happen

And you come back flying
just like you arrived
you're back in bed
only a little out of breath
your man gets up
leaves early in the morning
he didn't notice a thing
even while sleeping close.
You'd want to say it
you'd want to shout it
but you know certain things
can't be told
certain things happen
when you can't sleep
when the moon comes
and asks you to go out.
