Between two chords.
*
I am lost between two chords
the mandolin is playing
you found me wand’ring somewhere
between the cello strains.
Standing between the willow
and the tanner’s brook

*
Never take my freedom from me
by sending me away
though they make of me [...]

cut her some slack till she finds her space
and she knows she can please
I’m gonna make her fly
*
Running against the wind in Zilker
watch how [...]

What a cold little hand [Che gelida manina]

With youtube link Luciano Pavarotti sings live from the opera.
*
Mimi’s candle has blown out so she knocks on Rudolfo’s door for help to relight it, during which process she loses her key which Rudolfo finds but pockets, he doesn’t want her to leave, in this most beautiful of songs he tells her why.
What a cold little hand
let me warm [...]
