WINTER PER VOI

Winter (versione per il film Brothers)
Ecco il testo di Winter nella versione per il film Brothers, per cui ha ricevuto una nomination ai Golden Globe Awards (vedi news). Il testo è leggermente diverso dalla versione di Winter presente nel DVD Linear allegato all’album No Line On The Horizon.

Winter (Movie version)

The yellow sun
Well it took the hand
Of a country boy
To a city in a far off land

We made no mark
Left no shadow at all
On the ancient holy streets
Where I learned to crawl

24
Not making sense
I kept a diary
Of my experience

The broken and the bruised
The young and the used
The sure and confused
All here

Words would find me
Creep up behind me
Break and enter through every locked door

Rhymes began in me
Summer sang in me
But summer sings in me no more

Now I’m 25
I’m trying to stay alive
In a corner of the world
With no clear enemies to fight

It’s hot as hell
We’re like butter on toast
And there’s no army in this world
Can fight a ghost

The scared and the brave
The saint and the slave
Some in their grave
All here

Words would land on me
Then abandon me
Mangle, untangle me
Leave me on the floor

Spring it sprang from me
Summer sang in me
Summer sings in me no more

[Chorus]
Oh…

So glad you made it home
Home in time
The day that’s light
So glad you made it home
Made it in time, the daylight…

Winter (Linear Version)

The yellow sun
Well it took the hand
Of a country boy
To a city in a far off land

We made no mark,
No shadow at all
On the ancient holy streets
Where I learned to crawl

The broken and the bruised
The young and the used
The sure and confused, all here

Words will land on me
Then abandon me
Mangle, untangle me
Leave me on the floor

Rhymes they sprang in me
Summer sang in me
But summer sings in me no more

Now I’m 25
I’m trying to stay alive
In a corner of the world
With no clear enemies to fight

It’s hot as hell
We’re like butter on toast
But there’s no army in this world
That can fight a ghost

The broken and the bruised
The young and the used
The sure and confused, all here

Leave me stranded

The silence on the foreign ground

Listening to the thunder
The sky stretched
Stretched over everyone

Listening to the calls
The shouting
Frustration

At 21,
I was born a son
And on that day I knew
I could kill

To protect the ones
We put bullets in guns
Or anything it takes
To take a life, until it […]
