You and I

YOU AND I
Well, I smile
for you and I would feel alone on the top of the world
and anytime,anywhere would feel the same
Now I wonder
Am I at the beggining
or the very end
of anytime, anywhere
I know That midnight stroke
was only a joke,
Just to make me laugh
Yes I did laugh so much
Now please smile
for you know you and I would feel alone on the top of the world
Your midnight breeze passed me by
It was so cool…
I could hit you so strongly…
No I wouldn’t do you harm
And I’d wake up with no stone in my heart
So grab my hands
Grab my hands and pray
“Oh blood don’t spread,
Please run through me again”
You know I could breathe happily into a suitcase
But you know It would be better if you turned the light on
I know you were only trying to look be kind
Please let my heart start beating again, and again
But actually I know I should not care that much
for I'm sure you could easily undo it again and again
How long will you treat me this way

Let them try to find it
Let them realize and fail again
Make them realize and say “Oh my God, what have I done this time?”
But I can’t even say a word, I won’t say a word
Each night I swear I won’t but finally I let it flow
And seasons pass me by and wave their hands to my songs
And La Seine is flowing so quickly, we can barely see two meters long
What have you done this time?
We stare all the way up and down and up and down just like you want us to
Oh you know I’d say I’ll go your way
Oh you know I’d say I’ll go
But I can’t even say a word
Oh I know I said I would go your way
That I’d play for good a big part I’m your dearest mate
But I can’t even say a word
Oh tell me, Oh show me
How to gracefully step
And I’ll dance like a bird for all of my time
For now season is cold
As it will be from now on
I’ll make it warm spinning ‘round
For all of my time
For all of my time
And anytime I sit right there
You make me ashamed of my pale glowing face
You make me ashamed and I say “Oh my God, what have you done this time!”
‘Till we find something new to say we won’t say a word, we won’t say a word but…
Please sit down, close your eyes, take a deep breath, hold each other hands
Please remember that tale ‘bout that big candid lady and six angry men
That your friend’s got a golden tooth
And your wife’s got a golden muff
And we all stare all the way up and down and up and down just like you want us to

HOW COULD WE GET OURSELVES LOST?
Lay back again we are on our own
let's feel unworried for a while
I know it's quite sad, don't get me wrong
There are hundreds of tons of light
queuing in front of your door
Now as night goes on
and stars grow blind and we grow old
How could we get ourselves lost?
We can find each other through silent sounds
We can see each other with eyes closed
We won't make a move
So how could we get ourselves lost?
Then in the daylight, you seem so glum
When it is later you feel sound
I can see far away some cascading forms
Watch them drawing and jumping and towering over the floor
Are we those shimmering pieces?,
So, Are we just remains of some others' love?
Dancing resigned until we're gone
But we can find each other through silent sounds
We can see each other with eyes closed
And we won't make a move
So tell me how could we get ourselves lost?

Magical cynical

Morning breaks in the warmest place
Always luck choose the opposite lane
But we are rather Ok
The more that we try is the more that we find we can't get inside
We don't give it up as the sun is still high
You may think is silly I hope you feel fine that magical cynical way
Though everything flows I swear We will prevail
I've done enough, now please put your arms down
Let me go home and I'll lend you my crown
Till the end of time
It all will be great
It all will be great
As I wait you smiling from a silvery old fashioned frame
You may think it's silly I'm sure you still smile that magical cynical way
Though everything flows yes I swear they'll fade away
Oh dear, Oh dear Oh!
I'll be so kind I'll show
I'll be so kind I'll show

Farewell, my lady!

FAREWELL MY LADY!
Oh no! I’m dying so young
I can tell from the look in your eyes
But If am dying that young, before I leave you alone
Let me stay
We look forward to slow down
May I ever desert from this plight?
But stroke the crack in my pledge, softly say the right spell
And I’ll run to keep you awake
But if I am misspelled again I will never appear by your side
No don’t tell me with pride Yes you love your new life, you thank God
Almost every night, almost everyday
Smiling back at them I will sing my farewell
Someday when we meet again I will be quite incredibly charming
And I’ll tell you with pride, yes I love my new life, I thank God,
Almost every night, almost every day
Smiling back again I will sing my farewell

A long hereafter

A LONG HEREAFTER
I might have been haunted by the moon
To get glum
But nothing could make me bring down my brightest song
Though I’d loved before several times
Had I know I’d be awaiting so long just to wish you a long hereafter on your own
I wouldn’t have been so kind
On your own
Feels like I’ve been always watching you
Well I don’t
But I caress you from time to time when you are off guard
I’ve found calm before a couple of times
But it’s so sad it won’t take me so long. Would you wish me a long hereafter on my own?
I shouldn’t have been so kind
On my own
And it all feels so smooth ,once it’s far gone
On my own
There is no need to go nowhere
On my own
But nothing would keep me ‘round
To unfold you out
To pull that gloom out of your eyes
To soothe you down
We are on our own
Someone watching
Late at home
Maybe all those sparkling sounds will sigh for good

SENSITIVE, NOT DRAMATIC
Sensitive, but not dramatic
You’ re no more than a show until next Monday
Sensitive, I’m entirely sure, you’ll change it for the better
It´s not easy to be a gentleman
Sensitive, but not dramatic
You’ re no more than a show until next Monday
Sensitive, but not dramatic
Now the band's gonna play gently till morning
It´s not easy to be a gentleman
