lyrics

You know that the year’s coldest night is the one that freezes your heart passing by
When people out of mind run out of sight, all in a hurry ‘cause Christ comes to light
Last one present to be done, don’t forget that Santa’s coming close to dawn
But not a single human paying attention to that tiny voice screaming alone:

“Buy the matches,
All these matches!
Oh please Sir., feed me
So until tomorrow I’d stay alive…”.

The longest night is every night that someone sees another’s pain and shows no care
As when the little matchgirl turned into a candy violet doll of nacre,
All the kids I see pretend to, with a single cent, like Holden the world catch
but she won’t ever know how they feel caring warming herself with a single match.

“Buy the matches
All these matches!
Oh please Madame take me,
You look so close to my mom!”.

She’s so afraid of coming back at home
If her task she won’t complete…
Cause daddy’s gonna cuff her.


More and more the snow shall fall
Cold and colder her feet go on
I don’t even know her name
But I feel like I’m part of this human shame

“Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory.”

I hold you love I’ll never let you fall
I light a match trying to warm your blood
Please ignore the skies’s call
I kiss your teen lips,
How would you have been older?
Your dreams will be forever locked up
Come and get on granny’s shoulders
She came to bring you up.

When I feel cold I think of you in peace,
In the heart of Winter streets.
