He's chasing the clouds
more than the girls his age.
He wants to cuddle in them,
there his dreams are frozen.
He's swimming in spheres
unknown to us.
A shy mystery,
but a fighting soul.
My little by little
is leaving the ivory tower.
I spend all my nights
hidden in his closet.
I don't allow myself to tell you
I would like you to be by my side.
I feel you're breathing freely away from me
and this breathing is more important than I am.
Pride brushes me,
the missing sometimes scalds me.
My eyes then get wonded
by so many nights without you.
My little by little
is leaving the ivory tower.
I spend all my nights
hidden in your closet.
I like it when your smile shows
at the corner of your eyes,
at the edges of your mouth,
I like it when you hold it back,
and your modesty moves me.
I like to see you change
my little by little,
to see you change
and leave the nest without fear.
My little by little
is leaving the ivory tower.
I spend all my nights
hidden in his closet.
Now I'll dance in the rain
to celebrate your departure.
I would call on the stars
to bring you away from the blizzard.
My little by little
is leaving the ivory tower.
I spend all my nights
hidden in his closet.
