01. Stay
(musica
e testo di Elisa Toffoli)
You did not dare say a single word
I did not dare ask for something more
I’ve kept my questions secret deep inside
But I wish I could have let you know about
A time when I would have said
Wait, and please stay
Did you mean to push me away?
Please wait and just stay
Did you want it to be this way?
Would you want to know what I've been through?
(Through all this time... all this time)
Would you want to know I have missed you too
(And I have you on my mind)
And you've been and you will be a part of me
(That I can't find)
And you've been forgiven for your silence
All this time when I would have said
Wait, and please stay
Did you mean to push me away?
Please wait and just say
Is there a way that could replace
The times you never said
How've you been?
Do you need anything?
Want you to know I'm here?
Want you to feel me near?
Yeah...and I hope
I hope that you will find your way
Yeah...and I hope
I hope there will be better days
Please wait, and just stay
(Please stay)
Did you mean to push me away?
Please wait, and just stay
(Wait, just stay)
Did you want it to be this way?
Wait, please say
(Yeah, and I hope)
I hope that you will find your way
Please wait, and just stay
(Wait, and I hope)
I hope there will be better days
Hey hey...
Wait
Please stay
Just stay
Please wait
02. Gli
ostacoli del cuore
(testo di Luciano Ligabue)
C'è un
principio di magia
Fra gli ostacoli del cuore
Mi si attacca volentieri
Fra una sera che non muore
E' una notte da scartare
Come un pacco di Natale
Eh...eh...eh...
C'è un
principio di ironia
Nel tenere coccolati
I pensieri più segreti
E trovarli già svelati
E a parlare ero io
Sono io che li ho prestati
Quante
cose che non sai di me
Quante cose che non puoi sapere
Quante cose da portare
Nel viaggio insieme
C'è un
principio di allegria
Fra gli ostacoli del cuore
Che mi voglio meritare
Anche mentre guardo il mare
Mentre lascio naufragare
Un ridicolo pensiero
Quante
cose che non sai di me
Quante cose che non puoi sapere
Quante cose da portare nel viaggio insieme
Quante cose che non sai di me
Quante cose devi meritare
Quante cose da buttare nel viaggio insieme
C'è un
principio di energia
Che mi spinge a dondolare
Fra il mio dire ed il mio fare
E sentire fa rumore
Fa rumore camminare
Fra gli ostacoli del cuore
Quante
cose che non sai di me
Quante cose che non puoi sapere
Quante cose da portare
Nel viaggio insieme
Quante
cose che non sai di me
quante cose che non puoi sapere
quante cose da buttare nel viaggio insieme
03. Broken
(musica e testo di Elisa Toffoli)
Hard times flowing and my eyes couldn’t see stars shining
My heart couldn’t feel the beauty of the rising sun
And I’m lost like a bottle that floats in the sea for ever
Will somebody pick up my hope?
Will somebody try?
Will I realize?
’ cause it’s broken broken
Something got broken like stolen
Stolen, like if it was stolen
And hurting, hurting
I have been hurting and now
Only time will tell
Time will heal
Just pieces of truth that I chose to keep and
No matter if now they are gone
No matter if I am alone
Still I can get back on my feet and walk on
As I know there was something to learn
I know there will always be more worth moving on for
Though, it’s broken broken
Something got broken like stolen
Stolen, like if it was stolen
And hurting hurting
I have been hurting and now
Only time will tell
’ cause it’s broken broken
Something got broken like stolen
Stolen, like if it was stolen
And hurting hurting
I have been hurting and now
Only time will tell
I’d love to be one of those colorful early summer days
When everybody is happy that you came
Everybody smiles back at you as soon as your eyes cross their eyes
But something has to happen first
I know winter has to come before it blossoms
So it’s broken broken
Something got broken like stolen
Stolen, like if it was stolen
And hurting hurting
I have been hurting and now
Only time will tell
‘ cause it’s broken broken
Something got broken like stolen
Stolen, like if it was stolen
And hurting hurting
I have been hurting and now
Only time will tell
Time will heal
04. Swan
(musica e testo di Elisa Toffoli)
Walking
by yourself in the cold, cold winter
Wrapped up in your coat like
It’s a magic blanket (wrapped up)
You say "No matter where I go
They all look like strangers".
You see the world only seems
The fairytale that it isn’t.
Dream on, dream on
there’s nothing wrong
If you dream on, dream on
Of being a swan
but I know you're thinking...
And now you’re looking at the sky
Talking to your angel
Could he turn this dirty street
Into a flying carpet?
But then you say: "I am not scared of anything"
Such a shy lie silent as the snow that is fallin’ down.
Dream on, dream on
there’s nothing wrong
If you dream on, dream on
Of being a swan.
But I know you’re thinking
" Am I gonna make it through?"
Dream on, dream on
there's nothing wrong
(and you can't run away
you've got to find a way
to make it through this mess)
if you dream on, dream on
of being a swan
(cause you can't run away
you've got to find a way
a way out of this mess)
but I know you're thinking
" Am I gonna make it through?"
('cause you can't run away
you've got to find a way
to make it through this mess)
(Go girl, go)
Girl you run
you don't look back
what did you see?
what did you get?
you're on the run
trying to forget
but in the end
is it so bad
(Go girl, go
Go girl, go
Go girl, go
Go girl, go girl
Go girl, go
Go girl, go girl
Go girl, go
Go girl, go girl
Go girl, go
Go)
Girl you run
you don't look back
what did you see?
what did you get?
you're on the run
trying to forget
but in the end
is it so bad
being a girl
being a girl
05. Labyrinth
(musica:Elisa Toffoli testo:Elisa Toffoli/Catherine
Marie Warner)
Just
like a spy through smoke and lights
I escaped through the backdoor of the world
And I saw things getting smaller
Fear as well as temptation
Now everything is reflection
As I make my way through this labyrinth
And my sense of direction
Is lost like the sound of my steps
Is lost like the sound of my steps
Scent of dried flowers
And I'm walking through the fog
Walking through the fog
Scent of dried flowers
And I'm walking through the fog
Walking through the fog
I see my memories in black and white
They are neglected by space and time
I stored all my days in boxes
I left my wishes so far behind
I find my only salvation
Is playing hide and seek in this labyrinth
And my sense of connection
Is lost like the sound of my steps
Is lost like the sound of my steps
Scent of dried flowers
And I'm walking through the fog
Walking through the fog
Scent of dried flowers
And I'm walking through the fog
Walking through the fog
Words sounds music and I'm spinning in
Words sounds music and I'm spinning out
But I want to stay here
Cause I'm waiting for the rain
And I want it to wash away
Everything everything everything
Scent of dried flowers
And I'm walking through the fog
Walking through the fog
Scent of dried flowers
And I'm walking through the fog
Walking through the fog
Scent of dried flowers
And I'm walking through the fog
Walking through the fog
Scent of dried flowers
And I'm walking through the fog
Walking through the fog
06. Together
(testo
di Elisa Toffoli)
Together,
here we are, boy and girl walk alone
Together moving like clouds
Together billions the soldiers of love in the dark
Together till one will see the light
All the way alone, alone, alone, alone
But together we’ll always want to be
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich with your money and decide for it all?
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich with your money and decide for it all?
Do you?
Together the bullets fly just like birds in the sky
Together we’re both paralyzed
Together drop by drop one by one til’ water falls
If it’s a game we’re supposed to know we’re playing
How come some don’t know?
Don’t know? Don’t know? Don’t know?
And together is all they need to be
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich of your money and decide for it all?
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich of your money and decide for it all?
Do you?
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich of your money and decide for it all?
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich of your money and decide for it all?
Do you?
Together here we are, boy and girl walk alone
Together moving like clouds
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich with your money and decide for it all?
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich with your money and decide for it all?
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich with your money and decide for it all?
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich with your money and decide for it all?
Do you?
Together

07. Gift
(musica e testo di Elisa Toffoli)
In the other room
In the other room
I'm the other girl
I'm another one
Of your children
It's this other face
This other name
I'm the other girl
Want to be in the other room
When you're calling me
When you're calling me
Your gift
Receving through this body of mine
Is alive so alive
Your gift
Receiving through this body of mine
Is alive so alive
I am bleeding joy
Still peaceful
I am waiting for patience
I live something beautiful
Just thinking not too fast
I'm still here
Want to be in the other room
When you're calling me
When you're calling me
Your gift
Receving through this body of mine
Is alive so alive
Your gift
Receiving through this body of mine
Is alive so alive
My secrets are now things I can touch
This is complicity
I'm going to embrace
This man with no face…just fly…
Your gift
Receving through this body of mine
Is alive so alive
Your gift
Receiving through this body of mine
Is alive so alive
Your gift… is givin'… as receiving, as receiving…
08. Almeno
tu nll'universo
(cover di Mia Martini, testo di B.Lauzi)
Sai? La gente è strana
Prima si odia e poi si ama
Cambia idea improvvisamente
Prima la verità e poi
Mentirà a noi
Senza serietà, come fosse niente.
Sai, la gente è matta
Forse è troppo insoddisfatta
Segue il mondo ciecamente
Quando la moda cambia
Lei pure cambia
Continuamente, scioccamente.
Tu, tu che sei diverso
Almeno tu nell'universo
Un punto sei che non ruota mai
Intorno a me
Un sole che splende per me soltanto
Come un diamante in mezzo al cuore… tu..
Sai? La gente è sola
E come può lei si consola
Non far sì che la mia mente
Si perda in congetture, in paure
Inutilmente
Poi per niente.
Tu, che sei diverso
Almeno tu nell'universo
Un punto sei che non ruota mai
Intorno a me, un sole
Che splende per me soltanto
Come un diamante in mezzo al cuore
Tu, tu che sei diverso
Almeno tu nell’universo
Non cambierai
Dimmi che
Per sempre sarai sincero
Che mi amerai davvero
Di più
Di più
Di più
Di più
09. Heaven
Out Of Hell
(musica:Elisa Toffoli/Corrado
Rustici testo:Elisa Toffoli)
So,
are you turning around your mind?
Do you think the sun won't shine this time?
Are you breathing only half of the air?
Are you giving only half of a chance?
Don't you wanna shake because you love?
Cry because you care?
Feel 'cause you're alive?
Sleep because you're tired?
Shake because you love?
Cry because you care?
Feel 'cause you're alive?
Make… heaven…
Heaven out of hell now
Make… heaven…
Heaven out of hell now
Are you locked up in you counting the days?
Oh, how long until you have your freedom?
Your freedom?
Just shake because you love!
Cry because you care!
Feel 'cause you're alive!
Sleep because you're tired!
Shake because you love!
Bleed 'cause you got hurt!
Die because you lived!
Make… heaven…
Heaven out of hell now
Make… heaven…
Heaven out of hell now
Are you still turning around the same things?
Are you still trying that way?
Are you still praying the same prayers?
Are you still waiting for that same day to come?
Climbing the same mountain
You're not getting higher
You're running after yourself
You can't let go
Hiding in that place you don't wanna be
You push happiness so far away
But it comes back
To give you all that you've given before
To love you the way you do, like a mirror
Look in the air 'n catch that boomerang
It can't fall anywhere else but in your own hand
Make… heaven…
Heaven out of hell now
Make… heaven…
Heaven out of hell now...
Are you still waiting?
Are you still praying?
Are you still losing?
Make heaven
Heaven out of hell now
I wanna fly because I dream
Dream…
Dream…
10. Dancing
(musica e testo di Elisa Toffoli)
Time
is gonna take my mind and carry it far away where I can fly
The depth of life will dim my temptation to live for you
If I were to be alone silence would rock my tears
'cause it's all about love and I know better
How life is a waving feather
So I put my arms around you, around you
And I know that I'll be living soon
My eyes are on you, they're on you
And you see that I can't stop shaking
No, I won't step back but I'll look down to hide from your eyes
'cause what I feel is so sweet and I'm scared that even my own breath
Oh could burst it if it were a bubble
And I'd better dream if I have to struggle
So I put my arms around you, around you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you, they're on you
And I hope that you won't hurt me
I'm dancing in the room as if I was in the woods with you
No need for anything but music
Music's the reason why I know time still exists
Time still exists
Time still exists
Time still exists
So I just put my arms around you, around you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you, they're on you
And I hope that you won't hurt me
My arms around you, they're ‘round you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you, they're on you, they're on you
My eyes
11. Una
poesia anche per te
(musica
e testo di Elisa Toffoli)
Forse
non sai quel che darei
perchè tu sia felice
piangi lacrime di aria
lacrime invisibili
che solamente gli angeli
san portar via
ma cambierà stagione
ci saranno nuove rose
E
ci sarà dentro di te
e al di là dell'orizzonte
una piccola poesia
ci sarà, forse esiste già
al di là dell'orizzonte
una poesia anche per te
Vorrei
rinascere per te
ricominciare insieme
come se non sentissi più dolore
ma tu hai tessuto sogni
di cristallo, troppo coraggiosi e fragili
per morire adesso
solo per un rimpianto
E
ci sarà dentro di te
e al di là dell'orizzonte
una piccola poesia
ci sarà dentro te
e al di là dell'orizzonte
una poesia anche per te
Perdona
e dimenticherai
per quanto possa far male
in fondo sai
che sei ancora qui
e dare tutto
è dare tanto
quanto il tempo in cui
il tuo segno rimarrà
questo nodo
lo sciolga il sole
come sa fare
con la neve
E
ci sarà dentro di te
e al di là dell'orizzonte
una piccola poesia
ci sarà dentro te
e al di là dell'orizzonte
una poesia anche per te
Cori
(E sarà...)
Per
te
Anche per te
12. A feast
for me
(musica:Elisa
Toffoli/Corrado Rustici testo:Elisa Toffoli/Catherine Marie Warner)
Well
there's a party for me
The last thing I wanted from you
I close the door behind me
And there you are!
You seem relaxed and quiet
But under your shirt you sweat
And these balloons around
Make me feel so sad..
Well there's a feast for me
But it's a night so pale
Feels like an empty room
Where we could kill with words
You wish you could make believe
That I'm what you want me to be
But these balloons around
Make me feel so sad
I'm in your sweet sweet sweet embrace
And you're a thousand miles away
Your arms a sweet sweet sweet embrace
And you're a thousand miles away
Well there's a party for me
And you know that I didn't ask for it
I just stay in your game
I'm just playing your game
So won't you tell me what to do
I can pretend that you tell the truth
Won't you tell me what to do
I can pretend you tell the truth
I'm in your sweet sweet sweet embrace
And you're a thousand miles away
Your arms a sweet sweet sweet embrace
And you're a thousand miles away
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Should I take the blame?
Where's my big mistake?
Should I feel happy
For what I haven't done?
Should I take the blame?
Should I feel the pain?
Should I feel regret
For what I haven't done?
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Was this a feast for me
Or just a bad surprise?
Should I have expected this?
I just don't wanna know
And you've made up the rules
So that you'll win this game
But you can't tell me what to do
Cause I don't believe in you
What's left?
A sweet sweet sweet embrace
And you're a thousand miles away
Your arms a sweet sweet sweet embrace
And you're a thousand miles away
Why? Why?
I’ll never ask you why... why...
13. Sleeping
in your hand
(musica:Elisa
Toffoli/Corrado Rustici testo:Elisa Toffoli/Catherine Marie Warner)
Now
just let me sleep
I don't wanna talk
Have nothing nice to say
I'm just sleeping in your hand
Don't wake me up to soon
I don't want to see the world
I need to be no-one
All I want is just to be
We can be so strange
We can be so wild
Even when we love
Even when we lie
Be conscious of my love
Be conscious of my love
Please just let me float
Nothing matters less than time
My thoughts are so remote
Your hand is open wide
We can be so strange
We can be so wild
Even when we love
Even when we lie
Yes, we can be so strange
We can be so wild
Even when we touch
Even when we die
I'm sleeping in your hand
I'm sleeping in your hand
I'm sleeping in your hand
I'm sleeping in your hand
Be conscious of my love
Be conscious of my love
14. Luce
(tramonti a nord est)
(musica:Elisa Toffoli testo:ElisaToffoli/Adelmo
Fornaciari)
Parlami
come il vento fra gli alberi
Parlami come il cielo con la sua terra
Non ho difese ma
Ho scelto di essere libera
Adesso è la verità
L'unica cosa che conta
Dimmi
se farai qualcosa
Se mi stai sentendo
Avrai cura di tutto quello che ti ho dato?
Dimmi
Siamo
nella stessa lacrima, come un sole e una stella
Luce che cade dagli occhi, sui tramonti della mia terra
Su nuovi giorni
Ascoltami
Ora so piangere
So che ho bisogno di te
Non ho mai saputo fingere
Ti
sento vicino
Il respiro non mente
In tanto dolore
Niente di sbagliato
Niente, niente...
Siamo
nella stessa lacrima, come un sole e una stella
Siamo luce che cade dagli occhi, sui tramonti della mia terra
Su nuovi giorni, in una lacrima
Come un sole e una stella
Luce che cade dagli occhi sui tramonti della mia terra
Su nuovi giorni
Il
sole mi parla di te... mi stai ascoltando?
Ora la luna mi parla di te... avrò cura di tutto quello che mi hai dato...
Anche
se dentro una lacrima, come un sole e una stella
Luce che cade dagli occhi sui tramonti della mia terra
Su nuovi giorni in una lacrima come un sole e una stella
Siamo luce che cade dagli occhi sui tramonti della mia terra
Su nuovi giorni
Ascoltami
Ascoltami
Ascoltami
Ascoltami
Ascoltami
Ascoltami
Ascoltati
15. Rainbow
(musica
e testo di Elisa Toffoli)
You
are not an enemy anymore
There's a ray of light upon your face now
I can look into your eyes
And I never thought
It could be so simple
You can hear the music with no sounds
You can heal my heart without me knowing
I can cry in front of you
'cause you're not afraid to face my weakness
When we'll wake up
Some morning rain
Will wash away our pain
When we'll wake up
Some morning rain
Will wash away our pain
'cause it never began for us
It'll never end for us
'cause it never began for us
It'll never end for us
You're not my enemy anymore
There's a ray of light upon your face now
It will be all new again
There is something else
Just 'round the corner
So when we'll wake up
Some morning rain
Will wash away our pain
When we'll wake up
Some morning rain
Will wash away your pain
'cause it never began for us
It'll never end for us
No, it never began for us
It'll never end for us
I was looking for a place to stay
Are you looking for a place to stay?
No, it never began for us
It’ll never end for us
No, it never began for us
It'll never end for us
No, it never began for us
It'll never end for us
No, it never began for us
It'll never end for us
16. Eppure
sentire (un senso di te)
(musica:Paolo Buonvino testo:Elisa Toffoli)
A un passo dal possibile
A
un passo da te
Paura di decidere
Paura di me
Di
tutto quello che non so
Di
tutto quello che non ho
Eppure
sentire
Nei fiori tra l'asfalto
Nei cieli di cobalto - c'è
Eppure
sentire
Nei sogni in fondo a un pianto
Nei giorni di silenzio - c'è
un senso di te
mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...
C'è un senso do te
mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...
Eppure
sentire
Nei fiori tra l'asfalto
Nei cieli di cobalto - c'è
Eppure
sentire
Nei sogni in fondo a un pianto
Nei giorni di silenzio - c'è
Un senso di te
mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...
C'è un senso di te
mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...
Un
senso di te
mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...
C'è un senso di te
17. Qualcosa
che non c'è
(musica e testo:Elisa Toffoli)
Tutto questo tempo a chiedermi
Cos'è che non mi lascia in pace
Tutti questi anni a chiedermi
Se vado veramente bene
Così
Come sono
Così
Così
un giorno
Ho scritto sul quaderno
Io farò sognare il mondo con la musica
Non molto tempo
Dopo quando mi bastava
Fare un salto per
Raggiungere la felicità
E la verità è
Ho aspettato
a lungo
Qualcosa che non c'è
Invece di guardare il sole sorgere
Questo è sempre stato un modo
Per
fermare il tempo
E
la velocità
I passi svelti della gente
La disattenzione
Le parole dette
Senza
umiltà
Senza cuore così
Solo per far rumore
Ho aspettato a lungo
Qualcosa
che non c'è
Invece di guardare
Il sole sorgere
E
miracolosamente non
Ho smesso di sognare
E miracolosamente
Non riesco a non
sperare
E se c'è un segreto
E' fare tutto come
Se vedessi solo il sole
Un
segreto è fare tutto
Come se
Fare tutto
Come se
Vedessi solo il sole
Vedessi solo il sole
Vedessi solo il sole
E non
Qualcosa che non c'è
