It's A Dream / È un sogno
In the morning when I wake up and listen to the sound
Of the birds outside on the roof
I try to ignore what the paper says
And I try not to read all the news
And I hold you if you've had a bad dream
And I hope it never comes true
'Cause you and I been through so many things together
And the sun starts climbin' the roof
It's a dream
Only a dream
And it's fading now
Fadin' away
It's only a dream
Just a memory
Without anywhere to stay
The Red River still flows through my hometown
Rollin' and tumblin' on its way
Swirlin' around the old bridge pilings
Where a boy fishes the mornin' away
His bicycle leans on an oak tree
While the cars rumble over his head
An airplane leaves a trail in an empty blue sky
And the young birds call out to be fed
It's a dream
Only a dream
And it's fading now
Fadin' away
Only a dream
Just a memory
Without anywhere to stay
An old man walks along the sidewalk
With sunglasses and an old Stetson hat
Fall winds blow the back of his overcoat away
As he stops with a policeman to chat
And a train rolls out of the station
That was really somethin' in its day
Pickin' up speed on the straight prairie rails
As it carries the passengers away
It's gone
It's only a dream
And it's fading now
Fadin' away
Only a dream
Just a memory
Without anywhere to stay
It's a dream
Only a dream
And it's fading now
Fadin' away
It's only a dream
Just a memory
Without anywhere to stay

Al mattino quando mi sveglio e ascolto il suono
Degli uccelli fuori sul tetto
Cerco di ignorare quello che dice il giornale
E cerco di non leggere tutte le notizie
E ti stringo a me se hai fatto un brutto sogno
E spero che non diventi mai realtà
Perché tu e io abbiamo fatto così tante cose insieme
E il sole inizia a salire sul tetto
È un sogno
Solo un sogno
E ora sta svanendo
Svanendo
È solo un sogno
Solo un ricordo
Senza nessun posto dove stare
Il Red River continua a scorrere nella mia città
Scendendo e scrosciando per la sua strada
Facendo vortici intorno ai piloni del vecchio ponte
Dove un bambino passa la mattina pescando
La sua bici poggiata a una quercia
Mentre le auto gli rombano sopra la testa
Un aereo lascia una scia nel cielo azzurro e vuoto
E gli uccellini chiamano per essere nutriti
È un sogno
Solo un sogno
E sta svanendo ora
Svanendo
È solo un sogno
Solo un ricordo
Senza nessun posto dove stare
Un vecchio cammina sul marciapiede
Con gli occhiali da sole e un vecchio Stetson in testa
I venti autunnali soffiano sul retro del suo cappotto
Mentre si ferma a chiacchierare con un poliziotto
E il treno esce dalla stazione
Era davvero una meraviglia ai suoi tempi
Prende velocità sulle dritte rotaie della prateria
E porta via i passeggeri
Se n'è andato
È solo un sogno
E ora sta svanendo
Svanendo
Solo un sogno
Solo un ricordo
Senza nessun posto dove stare
È un sogno
Solo un sogno
E ora sta svanendo
Svanendo
È solo un sogno
Solo un ricordo
Senza nessun posto dove stare
