Testo Old Men and Butterflies - Angelo Branduardi
Testo della canzone Old Men and Butterflies (Angelo Branduardi), tratta dall'album Highdown Fair
Just off a highway, a many-ring'd oak tree
Guarding forever his corner of meadow
So one hot June day, a dusty old pedlar
Footsore and weary, looked 'round him for shadow
"Come, my weary friend, and lay your pack upon the ground
And I will keep you safe if you should care to rest your head
Come, my weary friend, and lay your troubles all around
And listen to the music in the leaves above your bed"
Gladly, the old man lay down by the oak tree
Muttered his thanks and fell soundly asleep
The old pedlar slept on for many an hour
Resting his head on his hand by and by
He dreamed a dream that he'd left his old body
And had become a fine gold butterfly
The golden butterfly went flitting flower after flower
And dreamed he was an old man fast asleep for many an hour
The golden butterfly went flitting flower after flower
And dreamed he was an old man sound asleep for many an hour
The old pedlar slept on beneath the great oak tree
Dreaming his butterfly dream where he flew free
The golden butterfly went flitting flower after flower
And dreamed he was an old man who could sleep for many an hour
The golden butterflies go flitting never to explore
But dream that they are old men who can sleep forevermore
Da-da-di-dee, da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-di-dee, da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-di-dee, dee-dee-da-da
Da-da-di-dee, dee-da-dee
