Luyện nghe bài hát La Rossa

(Hammill)

Lacking sleep and food and
here I am again, upon your floor,
sanctuary and nourishment,
encouragement and and more.
The streets seemed crowded,
I put on my guise-
I know you know I am acting,
I can see it in eyes.
In the harsh of freedom I know
that I deny that I have wasted time,
have frittered it away in idle
of my and fidelity,
when simpler would have profited me
most...
...it enough in the end, when I'm looking
for hope.
Though the organ-monkey
as the pipes begin to
still he'll go through the routines
just as long as he thinks fit,
just as long as he knows it's dance, smile-
or quit.

Like the I dance to a strange tune
when all of these years longed to lie with you,
I've bogged down in the web of talk,
philosophy and sophistry-
at physiciality I've baulked,
like the man in the chair who it's
him to walk.
I've been hiding words,
fearing a deeper exists,
faintly aware of the
of opportunities I missed.
But the and the smell of you,
La Rossa head to toe...
I don't know I'm telling you,
but I think you ought to
the dam wall will break, soon the water
flow.
Though the organ-monkey
as the organ-grinder
hoping, at the most,
for an end to his dancing
still he hops up and down on his
in the usual way.
Though it might mean an end to all
there's I'm working up to say.

Think of me what you
I know that you you feel my pain-
no matter if that's the surface.
If we made love now would change all
that has before?
Of course it would, there's no way it could
be the same...
one line crossed,
one mystery explained.
Now I more than just words, though
the options are plain that lead all
action.
If we make love now it change all
is yet to be...
never could we agree in the way again.
One world lost,
one more gained.

La Rossa, you me, you read me as though
I am
I know it there's no no way in which I can

though it that you'll finish my story
at last I'd all the clever talk,
the joking, the and the quips,
all the conversations, all the friendship,
all the and all the trips
for the warmth of body,
the vivid touch of your lips.
All bridges behind me,
all safety reach,
the monkey his chains out blindly,
only to find released.

Take me, take me now and hold me
inside your body,
wash me as some to the shore,
leave me lying evermore!
Drown me, drown me now and me down
your naked hunger,
burn me at the of the night-
me life!
