SALLY WALKS DOWN THE STREET
WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE ROAD
SALLY IS A WOMAN WHO DOESN’T FEEL LIKE ARGUING ANYMORE
SALLY HAS PUT UP WITH TOO MUCH
SALLY HAS ALREADY SEEN
WHAT CAN COLLAPSE ON YOU
SALLY HAS ALREADY BEEN PUNISHED
FOR EVERY DISTRACTION, FOR EVERY WEAKNESS
FOR EVERY GENTLE CARESS
GIVEN NOT TO FEEL THE BITTERNESS
LISTEN TO THE RAIN OUTSIDE
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NOISE
SALLY WALKS DOWN THE STREET CONFIDENTLY
WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING
BY NOW SHE LOOKS AT PEOPLE
WITH INDIFFERENT EYES
IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE THOSE MOMENTS
WHEN A GLANCE COULD MOVE YOU
WHEN LIFE WAS EASIER
AND ONE COULD EAT STRAWBERRIES TOO
BECAUSE LIFE IS A THRILL THAT RUNS OFF
IT’S ALL AN EQUILIBRIUM ABOVE MADNESS
ABOVE MADNESS
LISTEN TO THE RAIN OUTSIDE
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NOISE
BUT MAYBE SALLY THIS IS THE VERY POINT OF YOUR WANDERING
MAYBE YOU DO HAVE TO FEEL A BIT BAD
MAYBE AT THE END OF THIS SAD STORY
SOMEONE WIILL FIND THE COURAGE
TO DEAL WITH GUILTY FEELINGS
AND WIPE THEM OUT OF THIS JOURNEY
IN ORDER TO LIVE EVERY MOMENT
IN ITS EVERY COMPLEXITY
AND AS IF IT WAS THE LAST
SALLY WALKS DOWN THE STREET LIGHTLY
IT’S NIGHT BY NOW
THE STREET LAMPS ARE TURNED ON
EVERYONE RUSHES HOME IN FRONT OF THE TELEVISION
AND THEN A THOUGHT CROSSES HER MIND
MAYBE LIFE WASN’T ALL A WASTE
MAYBE SOMETHING CAN BE SAVED
MAYBE IT WASN’T ALL WRONG
MAYBE THAT’S HOW IT HAD TO BE
MAYBE
BUT MAYBE
MAYBE YES
WHAT CAN I SAY?
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NOISE
