Lyrics Lucio Battisti

Lucio Battisti

The Sun Song

Your long blonde hair and eyes of baby blue

Bright colors never fading

The blush of childhood on your downy cheek

The days of hide-and-seek

The secret places we arranged to be

The things you felt but couldn't see

The sandy footprints as you shyly fled

Oh no now summer's gone away we are older

Where have you been what have you done till now?

You're a woman a woman tell me

What do you mean that you're a woman at last?

How many arms have been around you?

Did they change you in the past?

So what don't tell me you're moving too fast

Do you remember tossed in waves of white?

Green stones where water flows free?

What color are your eyes speckled in light?

I'll never ask you'll never tell me

Oh sad old ocean sad old ocean jaded sea

You were as pure as the innocence in me

Oh sad old ocean sad old ocean jaded sea

You were as pure as the innocence in me

The bicycles

We left abandoned on the top of the hill

Lying together under the trees

Flowers the pages of your scrapbook fill

So happy in that summer breeze

An awkward silence that you seem to fear

A look i couldn't understand

The flowers falling as i draw near

Oh no don't hold me back don't raise your hand

Where have you been what have you done till now?

You're a woman a woman tell me

What do you mean that you're a woman at last?

How many arms have been around you?

Did they change you in the past?

So what don't tell me you're moving too fast

Can you recall the waves and summer skies?

The spray from surfing in the sea?

What light flickers deep in your eyes?

Is the flame still burning? I can't see

Oh sad old ocean sad old ocean jaded sea

You were as pure as the innocence in me

Oh sad old ocean sad old ocean jaded sea

You were as pure as the innocence in me

When the bright rays of the morning sun burst into the night

The early day breaks over us with clear warm light

The shadows and the phantoms of the dark turn into trees and blossoms

Truth once more rejects the lies

And love becomes the light that's shining still in your eyes
