about

the fountain

lyrics

air full of dreaming, sky full of stars
the sound of people laughing in cafes and in bars

as i turned a corner i came into a square
there were lovers all around me, lovers everywhere

their eyes were for each other as the world around them turned
they were lost to venus and the stars

were falling
stars were falling

the water from the fountain
annoints these dreaming lovers

the wine is their communion
as they keep the dawn from breaking

as i look around me
eloise is rising
high above the rooftops in the arms

of some sweet lover
some sweet lover

benedetto si al giorno, el mese, el lanno
e'l stagionne, el tempo, el lora, el punto
el bel pese de duo begli occhi che legato manno

my ofynays i lywr lili
doust thou love me tel me truly
hithe ddywede hawdd y haddo
amo te in corde meo

le stelle stanno cadendo
le stelle stanno cadendo
