Time Fades Away / Il tempo scivola via
Fourteen junkies too weak to work
One sells diamonds for what they're worth
Down on pain street disappointment lurks
Son, don't be home too late
Try to get back by eight
Son, don't wait 'til the break of day
'Cause you know how time fades away
Time fades away
You know how time fades away
All day presidents look out windows
All night sentries watch the moonglow
All are waiting 'til the time is right
Son, don't be home too late
Try to get back by eight
Son, don't wait 'til the break of day
'Cause you know how time fades away
Time fades away
You know how time fades away
Back in Canada I spent my days
Riding subways through a haze
I was handcuffed, I was born and raised
Son, don't be home too late
Try to get back by eight
Son, don't wait 'til the break of day
'Cause you know how time fades away
Time fades away
You know how time fades away
Thirteen junkies too weak to work
One sells diamonds for what they're worth
Down on pain street disappointment lurks
Son, don't be home too late
Try to get back by eight, eight
Son, don't wait 'til the break of day
'Cause you know how time fades away
Time fades away
You know how time fades away
Time fades away
You know how time fades away
Son, don't wait 'til the break of day
'Cause you know how time fades away

Quattordici tossici troppo deboli per lavorare
Uno spaccia diamanti per quel che valgono
Giù per via del dolore il fallimento è in agguato
Figliolo, non tornare troppo tardi
Cerca di rientrare per le otto
Figliolo, non aspettare fino all’alba
Perché lo sai come il tempo scivola via
Il tempo scivola via
Lo sai come il tempo scivola via
Per tutto il giorno i presidenti guardano fuori dalle finestre
Per tutta la notte le sentinelle guardano il chiaro di luna
Tutti stanno aspettando che arrivi il momento giusto
Figliolo, non tornare troppo tardi
Cerca di rientrare per le otto
Figliolo, non aspettare fino all’alba
Perché lo sai come il tempo scivola via
Il tempo scivola via
Lo sai come il tempo scivola via
Quand'ero in Canada passavo i miei giorni
A viaggiare su metrò nella foschia
Ero in manette, ero nato e cresciuto
Figliolo, non tornare troppo tardi
Cerca di rientrare per le otto
Figliolo, non aspettare fino all’alba
Perché lo sai come il tempo scivola via
Il tempo scivola via
Lo sai come il tempo scivola via
Tredici tossici troppo deboli per lavorare
Uno spaccia diamanti per quel che valgono
Giù per via del dolore il fallimento è in agguato
Figliolo, non tornare troppo tardi
Cerca di rientrare per le otto
Figliolo, non aspettare fino all’alba
Perché lo sai come il tempo scivola via
Il tempo scivola via
Lo sai come il tempo scivola via
Il tempo scivola via
Lo sai come il tempo scivola via
Figliolo, non aspettare fino all’alba
Perché lo sai come il tempo scivola via
