AND THE RAINBOWS by Pietro Straccia I wanna skip town to a quiet place with no one around just warm wind in my face I’ll drive solo in my white beatle. All windows down. Nothing to complain Just clouds wasting time with the air and the raindrops Cares disappear like wind and the rainbows always do Daydreaming of your pretty face, I think I’ve run into stormy weather Just clouds wasting time with the air and the raindrops Thoughts blow away like the wind and the rainbows always do Do you feel Love? Do you feel Love? Do you fear Love? Do you feel the Love? Do you fear Love? Do you feel Love? Just clouds wasting time with the air and the raindrops Time slips away like the wind and the rainbows always do

LITTLE LOVE 04:16
LITTLE LOVE by Pietro Straccia In the corner of a cell it’s a dark room in the depths of an abbey of northern Rohne You’ll find me there. You’ll find him there Carving words with his nails on the wall. Determination makes it not hurt so much He has to know. He must be told. Soon you’ll wake in another room. With skies as walls painted blue Then with a little luck from above. You’ll see. With a little Love. From a distance I can hear it all. Music, Dancing, Laughter…dissipate I can’t just sit and wait. Ask the earth to align with you. Those patient eyes will see the truth. And the earth has aligned with who’s patient eyes have seeked truth And with a little luck from above, you’ll see. With a Little Love. with a little luck ohhhhhh With a Little Love .

HEAVEN IS A PLACE THAT WAS by Pietro Straccia Heaven is the place that was Before hell got in touch with us I get the sense that I always have to fall Between good and evil Oh the mind thinking Things I never thought I thought Fighting wars not meant be fought Oh the mind…. Give it all you can and leave the rest To god cause it’s in the hands of the unknown In your head there’s a war ready to explode Heaven is a place that was Between the statues the horizons And the sun. Edges of the mind Paint pictures that I never saw Some good some evil Oh the mind playing These tricks are getting awfully old I think I said more than I wanted told it’s not what you say but how. It will never end, It’s just getting old Treasure what you have and open up the doors It will never end, It’s just getting close. Heaven is a place that was In your head there’s a war Heaven is a place that was In your head there’s a war Heaven is a place that was In your head there’s a war

BABY BLUE 04:07
Baby Blue by Pietro Straccia In the morning when I wake up mama All my world is directed to you Then suddenly you had to go ‘cause your own mama was gone too Take me take me with you Remember how that it day it hurt so bad When I bruised my knee on the floor All you did was give it a kiss and Magically the pain was gone Where, Where are you? Now I forgot your face somehow Waiting for your return oooo ooo I’m your baby too oooooo I’m your baby Then one day a woman dressed in black With short hair showed up at home Since she was gone for so long I didn’t recognize her anymore I wouldn’t talk to here I didn’t know who you were Now I forgot your face somehow No longer waiting for your return I’m your baby too I’m your baby too

YOU WANT IT 03:19
You Want It by Pietro Straccia After dark you want to have her Because she’s your lover You want to possess her Till the morning after You try to forget her She was just a lover Someone that made you happy For a moment in time And now you’re left with A dirty mind…….mind And all you had to say is You Want It You Want It All you had to say Wake up in the morning Make up Before you go out there Out there in the lonely Streets of faceless people Bodies moving slowly In different directions Like hopeless children playing in the dark oooooo All you had to say is You Want It You Want It

SPIRIT WORLD 03:37
SPIRIT WORLD by Pietro Straccia Oh When you’re on your own and lonely You’re not alone She’s on the telephone pretending There is Someone Falling in love with her Falling in love She lives in the illusion of images But don’t we all Long to sit around the campfire when it is cold When it is cold Oh when the sun is gone we open doors To the spirit world Now we let them out. Let’s dance with them Till the morning comes Don’t you forget the love that was given to us Given to us hold on To that thought hold on Love was given to us Falling in love with her Falling in love……

GOLDEN HANDS 04:33
GOLDEN HANDS By Pietro Straccia and Massimiliano Piazza At a time where all seemed broken Waiting on the night to fall Being close will make us bold and brave Slowly we slipped in the moment Our minds become ONE Near the fire we pass the cup around Then All The Spirits. All The Sprits Came Golden Hands, Golden Hands Once Again In dark purple fields we hide Innocent, we silently search the sky You and I had contact once again Then All The Spirits , All The Sprits Came Golden Hands, Golden Hands Once Again All The Spirits .........All The Spirits came At a time where all seemed broken, at a time…… All The Spirits All The Spirits Sang “waiting on the morning sun” “waiting on the morning sun” All The Spirits All The Spirits Sang “waiting on the morning sun” waiting on the morning sun” Golden Hands, Take us back Once again “waiting on the morning sun” All The Spirits, All the Spirits Came, Came, Came, gospel backing All the Sprits, All the Spirits Came......
