MARBLES
Don’t care about the paper and the bow
I’ve been meddling in vain and the rain came and wrecked it all
How I finally got here, I don’t know
I had to walk for a mile with my back against the wall
As you can see I haven’t changed a bit, I’m still the one you used to meet
I’m always late without a reason
I guess you feel annoyed as once you did, you’ve always been a little strict
But you were the one we all could lean on
I’m back home for a week, without a plan
I think it’s five years or more since the last time around
I must have missed something now and then
I don’t know what you’ve done, or what you’ve lost and found
Let’s sit down at the counter for a glass, and I’ll be listening from scratch
To all that happened in my absence
I’ve built my future overseas, I’ve got a graduate degree
And now I’m looking for a placement
We’ve been scattered like some marbles on the sand
Along roads that we can’t even understand
We’ve been scattered like some marbles on the sand
A little push and they’re all gone, you see them rolling on and on, they are already out of view
When Frankie left for Spain he wasn’t sure
But he met the girl of his life, so I think now he’s gonna stay
Joe’s selling hoovers door to door
It’s not the most thrilling job but he says he’s doing okay
Some regret a chance they have refused, some are still dreamers on the loose
Others, I hardly can remember
Mary, please don’t think I’m a fool, but sometimes I wish I was back in school
Knowing we’ll gather in September
We’ve been scattered like some marbles on the sand
Along roads that we can’t even understand
We’ve been scattered like some marbles on the sand
A little push and they’re all gone, you see them rolling on and on, they are already out of view
Don't mind the paper and the bow Here I am home again for a week, with no plans They scattered us like marbles on the sand When Frankie left for Spain he had his doubts They scattered us like marbles on the sand Click here for the Italian translation
I went to all that trouble for nothing and then the rain came and ruined everything
How I managed to get here in the end, I really don't know
I had to walk a mile with my back against the wall
As you see, I haven't changed a bit, I'm still the one you used to hang out with
I'm always late for no reason
I bet you're annoyed like you used to be, you've always been a bit strict
But in the end you were the one we could all count on
I think it's been five years or more since the last time
I must have missed something from time to time
I don't know what you've done, what you've lost or found
Let's sit at the counter for a drink, and I'll listen closely from the beginning
Everything that happened while I was gone
I started my future overseas, I got a degree
And now I'm looking for a job
Along paths we can't even understand
They scattered us like marbles on the sand
A little tap and off we go, you see them roll and roll, and they're already out of sight
But he met the girl of his life, so I think he'll stay
Joe sells vacuum cleaners door to door
It's not the most exciting job, but he says he's doing fine
Some regret an opportunity they turned down, others are still free dreamers
Others, I struggle to remember them
Mary, please, don't take me for a fool, but sometimes I wish I could go back to school
And know that we'll all meet again in September
Along paths we can't even understand
They scattered us like marbles on the sand
A little tap and off we go, you see them roll and roll, and they're already out of sight
