Oh my love, this has been the hardest station,
Travelling on till you don't know what to say,
And now you see the change in me, when I get so tired,
There's a price to pay, for your hearts desire.
In all these years, you and I have been together,
You trusted me, leaving me to show the way.
And now you find that I was blind, no use calling me a liar,
There's a price to pay, for your hearts desire
While you've been living in a different world,
I've been sitting here waiting,
While you've been living in a different world,
I've been saving my love for you, in the way that you'd want me to,
I've been crying over you so long.
And now you've got everything you ever wanted,
But money can't buy you a satisfied mind.
What can you do when a dream comes true
And you can't go any higher,
There's a price to pay for your hearts desire.
One man dreams of silver and gold, another man dreams of saving his soul,
It's just an illusion and nothing but dreams within dreams
Don't look down, don't look back when you're walking on the wire
There's a price to pay for your hearts desire.
While you've been living in a different world….
One of these days, we're going to find the right direction,
And the life that we knew, we're going to leave it all behind.
I've had enough of all that stuff, let's not wallow in the mire,
That's the price you pay for your hearts desire.
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.
