Miramare

[Part One - Novara] Far away from all they have known They will dream of home There at the edge of a distant land New walls rise on old stone On a wing and a prayer Building castles in the air Hope can be a great deceiver Through the sea shaken halls Down the steps to the shore There the ferryman lies waiting Bone white walls Blood red hills Evening star above Birds fly south Winter dreams That spring Will rise again [Part Two - Bora Chiara] Look out to thе sea From a tower of white stonе A jewel upon the shore Set in green and aquamarine Far beyond the place Where the waves and sky meet That is where they go Broken wings won't fly them home It's time to leave Bands strike up Playing their marching tunes All above the boats the flags are flown Church bells ring over the city streets It's time to sail With the tide Far away from all they've known Heading south Making new lives in a new world Far, far away At the helm But the tide is on the turn Here comes the wave Higher now Breaking over the edge Every falling tear Turns to stone And love makes a home Leave it all behind Turn their faces downstream The tower upon the shore Fades into a memory It's time to dream He would try To look for distant stars Lost behind an empire of the clouds Find a way Bring help from overseas They were apart She would walk in the gardens they had made Hope that love might bring him home again Alone and afraid Cold winds blow She was looking for one last summer day All their dreams Running over the edge She had lost her head And he had lost all heart [Part Three - Bora Scura] Cold winds set in from the north From the mountains down to the shore Look at the sea Look at the storm They are lost out in the deep Where the rain is pouring down again Look at the sea Look at the storm Look at the sea They were waiting by the shore And the rain is pouring down Like never before Church bells sound a funeral toll A ship of fools Is home again Now they say She still wanders in this place All alone Walking at the water's edge Far, far away Holding on but not holding back the tide Light fades away Looking out From the tower of a dream
