Il sogno rotto di Rod

Continuo l'escursus nella colonna sonora della serie TV di Netflix "La vita bugiarda degli adulti". Oggi tocca ad un brano inciso da Rod Stewart nel 1972 insieme alla band Python Lee Jackson, primi esecutori della canzone un paio di anni prima. Il brano si intitola "In a broken dream" e uscirà solo come singolo fino a trovare collocazione solo nel terzo millennio in qualche raccolta di Rod. Buon ascolto!

In a broken dream (Rod Stewart & Python Lee Jackson)

Every day I spend my time
Drinkin' wine, feelin' fine
Waitin' here to find the sign
That I can understand - yes I am

In the days between the hours
Ivory towers, bloody flowers
Push their heads into the air
I don't care if I ever know - there I go

Don't push your love too far
Your wounds won't leave a scar
Right now is where you are
In a broken dream

Did someone bow their head?
Did someone break the bread?
Good people are in bed
Before nine o'clock

On the pad before my eyes
Paper cries, tellin' lies
The promises you gave
From the grave of a broken heart, hmm

Every day I spend my time
Drinkin' wine, feelin' fine
Waitin' here to find the sign
That I can understand - yes I am

I sit here in my lonely room
Don't push your love too far
You know your wounds won't even leave a scar
Right now is where you are
In a broken dream
And don't you forget what I say - hoo, hoo
Ivory towers, bloody flowers...
