Testo Amelia - Herbie Hancock feat. Luciana Souza
Testo della canzone Amelia (Herbie Hancock feat. Luciana Souza), tratta dall'album River: The Joni Letters
I was driving across the burning desert
When I spotted six jet planes
Leaving six white vapor trails
Across the bleak terrain
It was the hexagram of the heavens
The strings of my guitar
Oh Amelia
It was just a false alarm
The drone of flying engines
Is a song so wild and blue
It scrambles time and seasons
If it gets through to you
Then your life becomes a travelogue
Of picture postcard tunes
Amelia
It was just a false alarm
People tell you where they've gone
They'll tell you where to go
But 'til you get there yourself
You never really know
Where some have found their paradise
Others just come to harm
Oh Amelia
It was just a false alarm
I wish that he was here tonight
It's so hard to obey his sad request of me
To kindly stay away
So this is how I hide out
As the road leads cursed and charmed
I tell Amelia
It was just a false alarm
A ghost of aviation
She was swallowed by the sky
Or by the sea
Like me
She had a dream to fly
Like Icarus ascending
On beautiful foolish arms
Amelia
It was just a false alarm
Maybe I've never really loved
I guess that is the truth
I've spent my whole life in clouds
At icy altitudes
And looking down on everything
I crashed into his arms
Oh Amelia
It was just a false alarm
I pulled into the Cactus Tree Motel
To shower off the dust
And I slept on strange pillows
Of my wanderlust
I dreamed of 747s
Over geometric farms
Dreams Amelia
Dreams and false alarms
