Once
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
let's go to the playground. today we will play between the fires and castles from the sand. I expect you'll all come. your lives, please leave them to the neighbors living next door. today we will play between the fires and will make castles from the sand.
running, screaming, stupid laughing, sweet singing, oh my goodness! what's all that noise? the kids are back again. impressed by the homeless cat, he wants to be just like him. smelling the flowers, he wants to scent just like them.
listening the birds, he whistles their songs. feeling the air on a (naked) body while running free. tasting the cakes from the sand, they are not like mum's. in the end he complains and cries. lying in the grass we are building our fantasy world. a castle in the clouds until it'll all, all fall down. I'm gonna ruin it all. we will argue and then a big fight. three hours later, drinking cocta and smoki in our hands. with our dirty faces smiling like mad.
because we're gonna be pals again. and here is something you should see, those eyes carrying the clouds. and those dirty smiling faces, keeping them on all their life. and the fire in their eyes, they must be happy to live their crazy life.
what are the voices coming again and again. it sounds like mum from far, far away.
maybe everything is over, maybe it's really the time to start looking for our way back home.
