Lyrics & translation
Verse
Dark wings brush the ceiling lights.
Ali scure sfiorano le luci del soffitto.
Starlings enter through the automatic doors.
Gli storni entrano dalle porte automatiche.
They wheel above the frozen fruit.
Volteggiano sopra la frutta congelata.
Searching for the missing sky.
Cercando il cielo scomparso.
Chorus
Hold both sliding doors wide open.
Tenete ben aperte entrambe le porte scorrevoli.
Hold both sliding doors wide open.
Tenete ben aperte entrambe le porte scorrevoli.
Let those wheeling wings find evening.
Lasciate che quelle ali ritrovino la sera.
Let those wheeling wings find evening.
Lasciate che quelle ali ritrovino la sera.
Verse
Strangers drop their heavy bags.
Sconosciuti lasciano le loro borse pesanti.
Nobody shouts and nobody brags.
Nessuno grida e nessuno si vanta.
We dim the lights behind them.
Abbassiamo le luci dietro di loro.
Keeping the flock away from harm.
Tenendo lo stormo lontano dai pericoli.
Chorus
Hold both sliding doors wide open.
Tenete ben aperte entrambe le porte scorrevoli.
Hold both sliding doors wide open.
Tenete ben aperte entrambe le porte scorrevoli.
Let those wheeling wings find evening.
Lasciate che quelle ali ritrovino la sera.
Let those wheeling wings find evening.
Lasciate che quelle ali ritrovino la sera.
Verse
Slowly flying toward the doors.
Volando lentamente verso le porte.
The sun is setting, getting late.
Il sole tramonta, si fa tardi.
Wings unfold above the parking lot.
Le ali si spiegano sopra il parcheggio.
The stars find their usual spot.
Le stelle trovano il loro posto.
Chorus
Hold both sliding doors wide open.
Tenete ben aperte entrambe le porte scorrevoli.
Hold both sliding doors wide open.
Tenete ben aperte entrambe le porte scorrevoli.
Let those wheeling wings find evening.
Lasciate che quelle ali ritrovino la sera.
Let those wheeling wings find evening.
Lasciate che quelle ali ritrovino la sera.
