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
