The Yellow Raincoat

 

LISTEN TO - ASCOLTA

Do you remember 

when you went out 

with your yellow raincoat 

to collect herbs after the rain? 

In those years 

I lived something 

incredible 

it was a promise never kept. 

Loneliness is not the solitude 

is a cruel way to prove 

you can save a small truth 

despite all of them 

Solitude is not the loneliness 

it’s something different 

it’s the light in the dark 

when good memories are left 

Yes I remember 

in these sad years 

of forced absence 

now that all of you are dead 

It was perhaps 

the only magic 

I have really had 

now that everything is a mess 

Loneliness is not the solitude 

is a cruel way to prove 

you can save a small truth 

despite all of them 

Solitude is not the loneliness 

it’s something different 

it’s the light in the dark 

when good memories are left
