lyrics

Lyrics Rebecca (Reba) Fritz

Dear Pino

There’s a letter on the table, there’s a dagger in my side. Self inflicted maybe but flesh wounds numb wounds inside.
Promises, soul chains and phrases like forever and ever all I knew better to exclaim but in your letter they fall like rain.
From a London train, things couldn’t be the same, didn’t I say after all. What if she don’t live here anymore? What if she don’t?
The open page stares back at me first quizzically, then questioningly, then mockingly, the muscles in my hand can’t grasp the pen and
I stood before the Irish Sea. Searched as far as I could see.
But there wasn’t even a line where the sea met the sky and
I could be the sky. I could be the sea. But I am I am numb. I am empty.
In Italy you could shelter me, what could you protect me from in my own nightmare?
There’s demons in these closets, monsters beneath the bed, they twirl and flirt in the light but its my hand who turns on the light.
Dear Pino, Dear Pino.
