Lucio Battisti

Wheels on hissing asphalt
Driving down your way
On the telephone you told me
Half-past two would be okay
Something in the way you talked
The way you made me feel
I can't explain just what it is
You sounded so unreal
What is it that has happened?
Is there something on your mind?
No it just can't be this way
I couldn't be so blind
The traffic's moving slowly
My mind is moving fast
Recalling conversations
Reflecting on the past
The words we said together
The pauses in between
You said "I think we need to talk"
I wonder what it means
There's never been a moment
When we didn't care
I'll simply say I love you
When I see you there
And yet I know there's something else
Very hard for me to see
But it seems it's overtaken you
Does it have to do with me?
The crowds of faceless people
Moving everywhere
The lights are all against me
I wonder when I'll get there?
There's never been a moment
When we didn't care
I'll keep repeating thoughts of you
To bring you clearly into view
I see your eyes
And something inside me cries
What can be wrong?
There's never been a moment
When we didn't care
I'll simply say I love you
When I see you there
And yet I know there's something else
Very hard for me to see
But it seems it's overtaken you
Does it have to do with me?
The crowds of faceless people
Moving everywhere
The lights are all against me
I wonder when I'll get there?
There's never been a moment
When we didn't care
I'll keep repeating thoughts of you
To bring you clearly into view
There's never been a moment
When we didn't care
I'll simply say I love you
When I see you there
