[Verse 1]
Burn brief, candle, burn
Flicker and die
Just as my love once brightened up my night
Then vanished out of sight
And left me alone
In a word, sconsolato
[Verse 2]
Blow all night, wind, blow
Invade her dreams
For it seems
That the love so once alive
Regrettably has died
A heart without home
In a word, sconsolato
[Verse 3]
Through the night, dark and cold
How I'd warm her and hold her
And kiss her again and again
Now my nights are dispair
A symbolic nightmare
Of what could have been
Should have been
Would have been
[Chorus]
And cry, oh, I cry
Could I deny
That the why
Of my life has lost all meaning?
Ship without a sail, I'm left in a world
In a word, sconsolato
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
And cry, oh, I cry
Could I deny
That the why
Of my life has lost all mеaning?
Ship without a sail, I'm left in a world
In a word, sconsolato
