VERONICA DAVANZO

1. Beethoven

instrumental

2. Fly

fly away

oh, fly away, high above

solo of a caged bird

sings in the dark, a voice unheard

song of the never-ending tide

song of the fragrant wind she rides

in dreams and fantasies

grows her wings while she's chained down

like an angel with broken bones

flies away until daybreak

wakes to find she can never

fly away, my little tune

oh, escape the bonds and broken heart

reach out and take the hands of fate

look up and marvel the pearly gate

guess it was all a beautiful lie

chains lock the door to the sky

until we dream and dream again

grows her wings while she's chained down

like an angel with broken bones

flies away until daybreak

wakes to find she can never die

ooh, i found her voice in the shadows

ooh, i found her voice and set it free

grows her wings while she's chained down

like an angel with broken bones

flies away until daybreak

wakes to find she can never

fly away

fly away

3. The Resurrection

come close and tell me a story

do you remember how it goes?

it was perfect in the crucible

before we started to burn

still water and an open world

closed on a winter's day

do you remember what you said?

you resurrect memories

of the way it used to be

as if you touched

the flames that burned it all

let go

and it tears at my soul again

when i see where we used to play

and we'd sing

for we were young and unhurt

do you remember how we laughed?

i resurrect memories

of the way i used to be

as if i could

pull back from fire that has

gone out

summertime, and it doesn't get easy

don't you cry - you can't turn back time

you resurrect memories

of the way it used to be

as if i could

burn it all away, at last

let go
