This song has been written by Doctor Franco Morro Bolzoni, writer and poet, in tribute to Leonard Cohen
I don’ t cry for you
I don’ t cry for you
I think by images
And tears come from un unknown present
Which no one remembers any longer
I eat and I drink
At the bar counter
Without sitting down
And with no rush
Like waiting someone I don’t care about
To go away with
I eat standing on my feet
At the bar counter
Like waiting an unsolved fear
That’s the reason why
there’s no point in hurrying up
But I don’t cry for you
You will not
You will never have
Any satisfaction from me
I think by images
I think by images
And I live in a un unknown present
Away from myself
I eat and I drink
and outside I hear
The whistle of the wind
That will blow your hat away when you’ll come
I will laugh, than
I will be tired
Of waiting for you so long
And together we will go away
And together we will lose ourselves
though you are my enemy
I won’t be afraid to look at you
falling silently in my eyes
The fear of Fate
Falling silently in my eyes
The fear of Death
So I won’t cry for you
And I won’t look back
And I won’t give you back any pain
I won’t hand you back any grief
(Franco Morro Bolzoni)
