Nino Rota

The shadows of persimmons guard the entrance to the day
As if to wave you away
The beast amongst the wheels
The fool upon the heels
Emerges in apologetic sun to the day
The solitude remains
Between Airpods and brain
Nino Rota playing

This electronic inwardness protects you from the fray
As if to wave the world away
The cafes and the exhibitions beckoning you in
Opening a laptop on a bench by the Seine
This solitude remains
Between Airpods and brain
Nino Rota playing

The beast amongst thе wheels
The fool upon the heels
Emergеs in apologetic sun to the day
Where solitude remains
Hope, solicitude
Nino Rota playing

Don't put on the Ritz
Don't put on the Ritz

On a bench near the Seine
The solitude remains
Between Airpods and brain
Hope, solicitude
Nino Rota playing

Fool on the heels
Nino Rota plays

Fool on the heels
Nino Rota plays
Fool on the heels
Don't put on the Ritz
