Quando sei qui con me
Questa stanza non ha più pareti
Ma alberi,
Alberi infiniti
Quando sei qui vicino a me
Questo soffitto viola
No, non esiste più.
Io vedo il cielo sopra noi

Che restiamo qui, abbandonati
Come 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, per me
Nel cielo
