2. Version of the song

[Intro]
 

[Verse]

Gloria
            
manchi tu nell

'aria
              
manchi ad una 


mano
           
che lavora pia

no
              
manchi a quest

  
a bocca
              
che cibo piu n

   
on tocca
              
e sempre quest

  
a storia
              
che lei la chi

    
amo Gloria.
              
Gloria sui tuo

       
i fianchi
              
la mattina nas

          
ce il sole
              
entra odio ed 

          
esce amore
              
dal nome Glori


a.

Gloria 
             
manchi tu nell

'aria
              
manchi come il

 
 sale
              
mi manchi piu 

    
del sole
              
sciogli questa

     
 neve
              
che soffoca il

          
 mio petto
              
t'aspetto Glor

 
ia.
             
Gloria chiesa 

   
di campagna
          
acqua nel dese

rto
              
lascio aperto 

   
il cuore
              
scappa senza f

        
ar rumore
              
dal lavore dal

         
 tuo letto
              
dai gradini di

         
 un altare
              
ti aspetto Glo

  
ria.

[Instrumental]
 

[Verse]
             
Gloria per chi

            
 attende il gi

orno
            
e invece di do

rmire
              
con la memoria

 
 torna
              
a un tuffo nei

 
 papaveri
             
in una terra l

ibera
              
per chi respir

  
a nebbia
              
per chi respir

  
a rabbia
              
per me che sen

       
za Gloria
              
con te nuda su

        
l divano
              
faccio stelle 

          
di cartone
              
pensando a Glo

  
ria.

Gloria 
             
manchi tu nell

'aria
              
manchi come il

 
 sale
              
mi manchi piu 

    
del sole
              
sciogli questa

     
 neve
              
che soffoca il

          
 mio petto
              
t'aspetto Glor

 
ia.
             
Gloria chiesa 

   
di campagna
          
acqua nel dese

rto
              
lascio aperto 

   
il cuore
