One more ride in my
Cadillac
Before I leave New york
For Italy...
Trieste is sitting proud
Paused and unnerved
With its blue waters--
My harbor of love
Some year's back
I was here with my brother
We watched the waves
Splash the Castle of Miramar
The borders we crossed
For a better life in America
While a small mountain village in Istria
Heard its goodbye
Passing the road by the river
Once more my Brother
Turned to wave
Only to see our mother cry
Our reunion distant and unsure
So we sang
"Here I come America;
My new home, here I come..."
But to return for my Brother
Was not meant to be
He died tragically young
In his new land; His home
Who would ever have thought
That we would never again sing
"Here I come America;
Here I come..."
I revisited the Castle of Miramar
The Alps surrendered to the rain
And I listened
To submissive echoes of yesterday
