There is nothing wiser than the sea

 

LISTEN TO - ASCOLTA

The sound of the sea 

second of september 

the waves seem to speak to me to me 

and I live for this 

parenthesis of sand 

while the tides are touching my feet 

there is nothing wiser than the sea 

and I have a secret faith for it 

So special to me 

first days of september 

every year they teach something to me 

and this time it is 

bitter and so tender 

being here so far from everything 

there is nothing wiser than the sea 

and I have a secret faith for it 

In my ears 

the waters sing a song 

and it is the most ancient one 

In my ears 

the waters sing a song 

that can clean out the mess on the heart 

When I was free 

I can barely remember 

but now I can wash away my grief 

I do not have bliss 

Destroyed is my shelter 

but the sea says that there is no need 

there is nothing wiser than the sea 

and I have a secret faith for it 

In my ears 

the waters sing a song 

and it is the most ancient one 

In my ears 

the waters sing a song 

that can clean out the mess on the heart
