Quando sei qui con me 
Questa stanza non ha più pareti 
Ma alberi, alberi infiniti

Quando tu sei qui vicino a me 
Questo soffitto viola 
No, non esiste più
Io vedo il cielo sopra noi 

Che restiamo qui, abbandonati 
Come se, se non ci fosse più 
Niente, più niente al mondo

Suona un'armonica
Mi sembra un organo 
Che vibra per te e per me 
Su nell'immensità del cielo 
Per te e per me, non c'è

Suona un'armonica
Mi sembra un organo 
Che vibra per te e per me 
Su nell'immensità del cielo 

Per te, e per me 
Nel ciel
