Description

I’m a cloud drifting by,
Dripping tears from the sky.
I’m a snail without a shell,
A leper with a golden bell.
I’ve got nowhere to go,
I’m a stray cat on the roam
Choking on a chicken bone,
For a home sweet, no sweet home,
For a root, for a leaf,
For a branch, for a tree,
For something, somebody
That reminded them of me.

Running with my roots pulled up,
Caught me cold so they could cut
What there was left of love.
I’m rootless,
I’m rootless.

Work your fingers to the bone
Building castles out of snow.
I’m a nomad walking on,
Humming to the same old song.
Lower case society,
Tied to no community.
A kingdom without a king
With no sense of belonging.
For a root, for a leaf,
For a branch, for a tree,
For something, somebody,
That reminded them of me.

Running with my roots pulled up,
Caught me cold so they could cut
What there was left of love.
I’m rootless,
I’m rootless.

Running with my roots pulled up,
So they could cut me free of love.

Running with my roots pulled up,
Caught me cold so they could cut
What there was left of love.
I’m rootless,
I’m rootless.

Dragging my roots through the snow.
No home sweet and no sweet home.
I’ve got nowhere to go,
I’m rootless,
I’m rootless.

Final submission from my snowy session with Richard, and most probably also the last photo of this year.
This is a very important photo for me, ‘cause it’s inspired by one of those songs that I really feel mine, so I needed to take this image off my head. I kept it as the very last photo from the session because I knew Richard would freeze to death lying in the snow and at least he could change with warm and dry clothes and take shelter in the car straightaway aftermaths (athough we actually went for a snowball fight, lol!).
Taken near Monfalcone, Italy.

Trippin out
Spinning around
I'm underground
I fell down
Yeah I fell down

I'm freaking out, where am I now?
Upside down and I can't stop it now
