Ailleurs
Salvatore Adamo
Elsewhere
Elsewhere ain't much better
Even if sometimes the sky might be a bit bluer
Elsewhere is just like here
Like everywhere when happiness
Isn't showing up
To think I searched for you
In the farthest corners of my dreams
At the end of my hells
Elsewhere, always elsewhere
Not seeing that just a few steps away
You were offering me the universe
'Cause that damn Sun was right there
Right there on my street
My love, tell me, what did I look like
Searching for you in the clouds
But what a waste of time
But what a waste of time
Elsewhere is an illusion
We think we're in paradise
While we're just going in circles
Elsewhere we feel so small
We never find our place
Elsewhere ain't a life
But I imagined you
Unreal, lost in a world too ugly
And in the end, I know
That the farther I went, the more I loved you
The more I lost you
'Cause that damn Sun was right there
Right there on my street
My love, tell me, what did I look like
Searching for you in the clouds
But what a waste of time
But what a waste of time
Elsewhere I was nowhere
Time passed without me
I was in the fog
Elsewhere it was winter
But I can finally say
That elsewhere was yesterday
My love, my love
My love, what a waste of time
My love, my love
My love, what a waste of time
