Premetto di non essere un gran fan di Springsteen. Ma questa canzone, davvero: ogni volta che l'ascolto, qualcosa muore, dentro di me.
La trovo una canzone meravigliosa, e vorrei dedicarla a tutte quelle persone che mi sono care e che, in questo periodo, per un motivo o per l'altro non stan passando un gran periodo...
(Bruce Springsteen)
Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free?
If you’ve ever seen a one trick pony, then you’ve seen me.
Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making his way down the street?
If you’ve ever seen a one-legged dog, then you’ve seen me.
Then you’ve seen me, I come and stand at every door.
Then you’ve seen me, I always leave with less than I had before.
Then you’ve seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor.
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?
Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and wheat?
If you’ve ever seen that scarecrow, then you’ve seen me.
Have you ever seen a one-armed man punching at nothing but the breeze?
If you’ve ever seen a one-armed man, then you’ve seen me.
Then you’ve seen me, I come and stand at every door.
Then you’ve seen me, I always leave with less than I had before.
Then you’ve seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor.
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?
These things that have comforted me, I drive away.
This place that is my home I cannot stay.
My only faith’s in the broken bones and bruises I display.
Have you ever seen a one-legged man trying to dance his way free?
If you’ve ever seen a one-legged man then you’ve seen me.
