Gloria Manchi tu nell'aria Manchi ad una mano Che lavora piano Manchi a questa bocca Che cibo più non tocca E sempre questa storia Che lei la chiamo Gloria Gloria sui tuoi fianchi La mattina nasce il sole Entra odio ed esce amore Dal nome Gloria Gloria Manchi tu nell'aria Manchi come il sale Manchi più del sole Sciogli questa neve Che soffoca il mio petto T'aspetto Gloria Gloria (Gloria) Chiesa di campagna (Gloria) Acqua nel deserto (Gloria) Lascio aperto il cuore (Gloria) Scappa senza far rumore Dal lavoro del tuo letto Dai gradini di un altare Ti aspetto Gloria Ah ah ah ah ah Gloria Per chi accende il giorno E invece di dormire Con la memoria torna A un tuffo nei papaveri In una terra libera Per chi respira nebbia Per chi respira rabbia Per me che senza Gloria Con te nuda sul divano Faccio stelle di cartone Pensando a Gloria Gloria Manchi tu nell'aria Manchi come il sale Manchi più del sole Sciogli questa neve Che soffoca il mio petto T'aspetto Gloria Gloria (Gloria) Chiesa di campagna (Gloria) Acqua nel deserto (Gloria) Lascio aperto il cuore (Gloria) Scappa senza far rumore Dal lavoro del tuo letto Dai gradini di un altare Ti aspetto Gloria
