"I don't believe in an interventionist God, but I know, darling, that you do
but if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
not to intervene when it came to you
not to touch a hair on your head to leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you then direct you into my arms"

("Into My Arms", 1998)

There is a town in north Ontario

C'è una città nel nord dell'Ontario

And I take comfort from memories there

E le memorie di lì mi confortano

And in my mind

Nella mia mente

I still need a place to go

ho ancora bisogno di un posto dove andare

All my best changes were there

Tutti i miei cambiamenti migliori sono stati lì

Blue, blue windows behind the stars

Finestre blu dietro alle stelle

Yellow moon on the rise

Una gialla luna s'innalza

Big birds flying across the sky

Grandi uccelli volano nel cielo

Throwing shadows on our eyes

Gettando le loro ombre sui nostri occhi

Leave us helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless

Ci lasciano indifesi

Baby, heal me now

Baby, curami ora

The chains are locked and tied across the door

Le catene sono chiuse sulla porta

They seem to help me somehow

Sembrano aiutarmi in qualche modo
