Steppin’ up over the ridge

“Voce e pianoforte disegnano subito una melodia molto bella, accompagnata da un’interpretazione molto sofferta. Anche il breve assolo di piano centrale, che ricama variazioni sul tema, aggiunge pathos a questa intensa canzone d’amore.”

E’ dedicata alla ragazza amata, quando il rapporto è ormai finito. In verità Chris l’ha scritta per sè stesso e mai nessuno, nemmeno lei, ne è probabilmente venuto a conoscenza.

Steppin’ Up Over the Ridge

I’m here at night as I sit all alone
I watch the sky and I think
I keep watching forever until it gets better

And when I think I heard the telephone ring
It’s hard to face that I was only dreaming you were calling

I don’t want nobody around tonight
‘ Cause nobody can help me and ease the pain, I’m sorry again
I don’t want nobody around tonight
Just the thought of you will keep me company
and love will set me free

Oh please don’t let ‘em burn that bridge
‘ Cause I fear I may be falling, steppin’ up over the ridge

And I remember all the things we used to do
And how we laughed and cried and sometimes
thought we were through
I remember

It’s been so long since the day I went away
What can I say except I’ve learned all the lessons
I could if you knew

I don’t want nobody around tonight
Just the thought of you will keep me company
and love will set me free

Oh please don’t let ‘em burn that bridge
‘ Cause I fear I may be falling, steppin’ up over the ridge
