Lyrics:

My days, they are the highway kind

They only come to leave

But the leavin I dont mind

Its the comin that I crave.

Pour the sun upon the ground

Stand to throw a shadow

Watch it grow into a night

And fill the spinnin sky.

Time among the pine trees

It felt like breath of air

Usually I just walk these streets

And tell myself to care.

Sometimes I believe me

And sometimes I dont hear.

Sometimes the shape Im in

Wont let me go.

Well, I dont know too much for true

But my heart knows how to pound

My legs know how to love someone

My voice knows how to sound.

Shame that its not enough

Shame that it is a shame.

Follow the circle down

Where would you be?

Youre the only one I want now

I never heard your name.

Lets hope we meet some day

If we dont its all the same.

Ill meet the ones between us,

And be thinkin bout you

And all the places I have seen

And why you where not there.

Daeronne Abate

Sigo finzament'ae fundagos inue che ses ispentumada? Ses tue chi m'abbisonzas. No hapo mai intesu su lumene tou. Lassa chi ispere 'e nos biere paris, si no ad'a abbarrare gai e tottu. Hapo a chircare sos chi ischin inue istas, Hapo aere s'oriolu 'e t'agattare in cada logu chi hapo connottu, m'hapo a preguntare proite no ses cun megus. Translation

Daeronne Abate

Duncas, no soe cunbinchidu de sar beridades, beru est chi su coro meu ischit seberare. Sas ancas mi giughen dae sa chi cherzo, sa oghe resurtat ae s'inde pesare. Birgonza chi no est bastante, desegu chena isegu.

Daeronne Abate

Sas dies mias paren camineras, lompen e dan despedida, ae su chi lasso no dao contu, su chi mi dechet est sa tuccada. Su sole rezzidi in sas pischinas cale percolu de su trighinu chi pighit in su notte e no iscampulat dae chelu. Su tempus in pinna 'e sos elighes ispartu po nde gosare frina, inie mi paso de bonu accattu, fatto meriagu e mi tenzo contu. Medal bortas mi cretto, medal bortas no intendo. Medal bortas mi c'abbarat sa bidea chi mi m'at trobbidu.

The emotions in this song are overwhelming, and expressed in a little over two minutes. Not a note or a word out of place...like a Chopin prelude or a Bach fugue in its perfection. I'm awestruck.
