Well we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away
While the spirits come and go without a sound
And just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a way, find a way, find a way home.
There's a full moon in the sky, but that don't worry me
I don't ever hang my soul out on the line
When the witchin' hour comes, I always fly away, fly away, fly away home.
There's a light in the city, that comes down from above
Leavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove
Don't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love
You've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove.
Now you once asked me why we can't communicate
But it doesn't always pay to tell the truth
If I told you right now, you'd only run away, run away, run away home
So we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away
While the spirits come and go without a sound
Yeah just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a way, find a way, find a way home.
There's a light in the city, that comes down from above
Leavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove
Don't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love
You've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove.

Gerry Rafferty (1947-2011) è stato un cantautore e chitarrista scozzese, noto per il suo stile folk rock influenzato dal blues. Cresciuto a Paisley, in Scozia, Rafferty iniziò la sua carriera musicale negli anni '60 con i gruppi The Humblebums e Stealers Wheel. Con quest'ultimo ottenne un grande successo internazionale nel 1973 con il singolo "Stuck in the Middle with You", che divenne un classico del rock. Dopo lo scioglimento dei Stealers Wheel, Rafferty intraprese una carriera da solista di grande successo, pubblicando album come "City to City" (1978) e "Right Down the Line" (1980), entrambi caratterizzati da melodie orecchiabili e testi introspettivi. Il suo brano più famoso è probabilmente "Baker Street", un singolo del 1978 che raggiunse la vetta delle classifiche in molti paesi, grazie anche al celebre assolo di saxofono. Rafferty ha continuato a registrare musica fino alla fine degli anni '90, pur non raggiungendo più i successi commerciali dei suoi primi anni. È morto nel 2011 all'età di 63 anni.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
