Finale (Passion)

The town, it is remote, isn't it?
And provincial (I'm filling up our room)
Don't you think? (A little room)
With every flower in bloom
I'll have the fire lit (The time has come to face the truth)
The table set
I'll wear the blue chemise (Signorina)
This sterile little town
These pompous little men
This military madness (Military madness)
Uniforms, uniforms
Imagining your fingers touching mine
An unattractive woman (Imagining our room)
Is easily deceived (The bed, the secrecy)
The world outside
Your mouth on mine

My dearest Giorgio
The end is near
The time has come for me to surrender life gracefully
These past two days since you have left
Since we were together, have been a revelation

Now at last I see what comes from feeling loved
Strange, how merely feeling loved
You see things clearly
Things I feared, like the world itself
I now love dearly
I want to live
Now I want to live
Just from being loved
All that pain I nursed inside
For all those years -
All that vain and bitter self-concern -
All those tears and all that pride
Have vanished into air
I don't want to leave
Now that I am loved
I don't want to leave
Everywhere I turn, you are there
Everywhere I look things are different
Everything seems right
Everything seems possible
Every moment bursts with feeling
Why is love so easy to give
And so hard to receive?
But though I want to live
I now can leave
With what I never knew
I'm someone to be loved
I'm someone to be loved
And that I learned from you

I don't know how I let you
So far inside my mind
But there you are and there you will stay
How could I ever wish you away?
I see now I was blind

And should you die tomorrow
Another thing I see
Your love will live in me
Your love will live in me
Your love will live in me
Your love will live in me
Your love will live in me
Your love will live in me
Your love will live in me
Your love will live in me
Your love will live in me
Your love will live in me
Your love will live in me
