There are people outside who are laughing, dancing, talking. There are people outside who are walking, loving, looking for. The music is playing and it arrives through closed windows barred not to make the enemy get in. Time is consuming the last flames of passion. There are people outside and I feel them and I don't want to feel them the music comes in and I don't want to stop it. Time is consuming the last flames of passion. The day is growing dark and sadness frightens. I watch the fishing lights on the sea and my eyes are ice crystals on the reflexes of the glass. Time is consuming the last flames of passion and I am here to hold the world because I don't want it to get in but the music is playing and I don't want to stop it until the last flames of passion will burn even that.
