i play the redemption game
it always rests on my shoulders
i can't remember anymore who i
play this game for
  but they say
"let the poor girl rest in peace"
can she be resting, though,
and still be three steps behind me?
let her rest -- but i am terrified of
forgetting her
her smile,
her shoes,
her fiamma
    my fiamma, that girl.
i can't let her rest
and i can't rest myself
we keep each other awake
at night
  and day
sometimes i think
she
is my journey
and my destination
  i have started down her path on her journey
but i never reached her destination
and sometimes i think that's too bad...
   i would've liked to see her
   hold her hand
   touch her hair
        again.
i would've liked to see her...
