Title:
Arrivals (Noutro Cais) - Rafael Gazzi Collaboration

Description:
My friend Rafael Gazzi wrote this song (originally in Portuguese) about the profound mixture of loneliness and hopefulness felt by a person living abroad (as a Pennsylvanian living in Texas, I think this also describes me). Rafael also arranged the song and played all instruments. http://www.youtube.com/bombacaototal http://www.myspace.com/rafaelgazzi I adapted the song into English, and did the vocals and video editing. The original video was shot in Basel, Switzerland by Ryan Cordell, and is used here with his kind permission. http://www.youtube.com/ryancordell http://www.ryancordell.com Arrivals (Noutro Cais) By Rafael Gazzi English lyrics by Paul Sonnenberg Headlights of a train Has something come to an end Or has something good begun? Beautiful and new Welcoming me like a friend Ah, such colors, and such tones How much will I be changed? How much will I change? How much, here, will I know and be known? At last, to be known! Will this loneliness always remain? This longing for my family back home? Can I build a happy life from A loving heart alone This heart is all I own I want to see the sun rise at dawn On other landscapes and yet I still want even more I want to see the sun set upon Other places and yet I still want even more The soft turn of a loving hand Meet the eyes, watch the stars, be the sea Let the waves of love from this heart of mine Embrace all I see I want to see the sun rise at dawn Over the mountains and yet I still want even more I want to see the sun set upon Other places and yet I still want even more Hear the voice of a gentle hand Striding angels that rustle the trees To recognize the voice of a loving heart When she speaks to me
