THERE'S NEVER BEEN A MOMENT

(Mogol / Powell / Battisti 1977)

Wheels on hissing asphalt	I see your eyes
driving down your way	and something inside me cries
on the telephone you told me	what can be wrong?
half-past two wold be okay
something in the way you talked	There's never been a moment
the way you made me feel	when we didn't care
I can't explain just what it is	I'll simply say I love you
you sounded so unreal	when I see you there.
What is it has happened?
Is there something on your mind?	And yet
No, it just can't be this way	I know there's something else
I couldn't be so blind.	very hard for me to see
	but it seems it's overtaken you
The traffic's moving slowly	does it have to do with me?
my mind is moving fast	The crowds of faceless people
recalling conversations	moving everywhere
reflecting on the past	the lights are all against me
the words we said together	I wonder when I'll get there?
the pauses in between	There's never been a moment
you said, "I think we need to talk",	when we didn't care
I wonder what it means	I'll keep reapeating thoughts of you
there's never been a moment	to bring you clearly into view
when we didn't care
I'll simply say I love you	There's never been a moment
when I see you there.	when we didn't care
	I'll simply say I love you
And yet	when I see you there.
I know there's something else
very hard for me to see
but it seems it's overtaken you
does it have to do with me?
The crowds of faceless people
moving everywhere
the lights are all against me
I wonder when I'll get there?
There's never been a moment
when we didn't care
I'll keep reapeating thoughts of you
to bring you clearly into view
