Il testo della Lady day

North winds have made my face a little older
And my back is bent through trying too hard
My vest is torn, so i make no perfect picture
To place upon your white-washed wall

I'd like to stay but you have not asked me
Still i don't really expect you to
Dusty boots would shame you now, lady day

Are we really that far apart?
I wish the world could see you now, lady day
Laughing down at your oldest friend
The one who shared just about all he had

In a one-sided love affair
I get scared when i remember too much
Wasted time i suppose you could say that
Strange, it don't seem that way to me

But wait a minute, i don't even think you're listening
Just let me tell you how i really feel
I've seen the inside of your heart, lady day
When you wanted to be shown the way
I loved you then as i love ya now, girl
