Total Eclipse oh the heart

Mi alzo sentendo la pioggia cadere. Scosto le tende e non solo la sento, ma la vedo anche.
E' fitta, battente, fredda.
Mi vesto con gli abiti preparati dalla sera prima, mi pettino con calma, il rimmel accarezza le mie ciglia e il fard colora le mie pallide guance.
Alla radio una vecchia canzone che non sentivo da anni.

Turnaround, every now and then I get a
little bit lonely and you're never coming around
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart

Lo specchio riflette un'immagine nella quale mi riconosco ancora nonostante tutto.
Gli occhi sono sempre quelli, forse solo più malinconici.
I capelli non sono più legati nella lunghissima treccia di quando ero bambina.
Sono stati lunghi, sciolti e poi cortissimi.
Ora sono solo biondi. Come sempre.

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit restless and I dream of something wild
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart

Mi fermo un istante.
Lui mi aspetta.
Come ogni mattina aspetta che mi avvicini e che lo prenda.
Aspetta di diventare parte di me.

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Dietro, altre boccette oramai vuote. Tutte uguali. Solo una è diversa. Edizione limitata, azzurro cielo, l'hanno chiamata "Pegaso".
Le passo con lo sguardo una per una. Ricordo perfettamente ogni volta che mi è stato regalato.

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
Turn around bright eyes
Turn around bright eyes
Turn around,
Every now and then I know you'll never be the boy you always wanted to be
Turn around,
Every now then I know you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way
that I am
Turn around,
Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe as magical and
wonderous as you
Turn around,
Every now and then I know there's nothing any better and there's nothing
that I just wouldn't do
Turn around bright eyes,
Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around bright eyes,
Every now and then I fall apart

La canzone sta per finire, lo afferro e la sua nuvola mi investe.
Ogni singola molecola si incolla alla mia pelle, al mio collo, ai miei polsi.
Mi volto e ne sento ancora la scia.
Ora mi sento completamente Io.

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

"Quando per strada sentivo quel profumo mi voltavo a cercarti tra la gente"
Ed ora, cosa farai? Ti volterai ancora? Cercherai il mio volto? Cercherai i miei occhi tra mille altri?

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

Camminerai ancora respirando l'aria per cercare quel profumo? Poggerai ancora la testa su un cuscino che sa di me?
