You scatter all my seeds, like ashes on the bar, nothing comes easy, blow away my pay, then fly afar, laugh at the terrible waste, I cling to the sea, like someone in a bottle, you won't set me free, it's a different age, you drive a fancy car, but still can’t wait, what about my creed, that warm hazy fog, a path to childhood dreams, makes me dance the waves, all the stuff you're not, a pearl among the wreckage, drink is bad for me, songs leave too many scars, your face is an ice rink, what's going on?

I want to be with you, stepping off this train, feel remarkably new, don’t wish to be alone, the tide’s washed away, tired streets and Metro, there is no clue, why it’s turned this way, give them their due, they blasted my bones, say that I’m saved, gave me roses to hold, what is your view, now the choice is raised, I am not the issue, before my groans, you tried to erase, everything I called home, truth is a bitter fruit, I’m good as each new day, play me happy tunes, kneel down and pray.

You wonder why I say, when winter leaves, another one’s gone away; make my bath with foam, fulfil gentle needs, our loving isn't done, I want to hold your face, forget the disease, catch horizons on the way, the wind still runs cold, helps me find my feet, it’s a long journey home, through the forays, sudden troubles ease, isn't it funny, each one of my bones, becomes amazingly free, maybe there is a cure, we’ll remember these days, our trips to the sea, the scrimped for holidays, our dance of Thebes?

You call this news, on these troubled nights, as if you knew, fire burns in the grate, don't tell us how to cry, those you leave too late, the different crews, hanging on the line, they loved you too, if it’s real or fake, something deep inside, makes them call your name, it’s time you fool, to sing with the tide, they care for you, no matter what you take, however, you may sigh, love is not your cake, whole worlds sing anew, rain clouds furl the sky, there are no easy dues, wherever you choose to lie.

Don’t care what you say, try to love excessively, make each day a holiday, geese with barren tones, make my blood ease, sing around my shoulders, they honk on their way, they’re late for the season, I'm just the same, in the blue dawn, stripped down like a tree, I trade between homes, two nights is a stay, it’s beyond any reason, there’s news of my game, being alone’s, a light in the sacristy, shining then gone, donkey’s bray, a moment seized, the gardens where I pray, beyond is the sea.

I get the heeby jeebies, my soul strung out tight, you better set me free, in my eyes amour, have to do what's right, splash the Eau de Cologne, rock me gently, say everything's fine, I'm always your baby, A host of lost lovers, all of them crying, rise up from the floor, I'm solemn, serene, you kiss me quietly, do what I’ve dreamed, a perfect score, am I just weaned, drawn a toil of water, sleep to the sea, I swear to the night, let me reach the quays, I’ll blaze like a fire.

When love begins to sway, you dance and play, whatever the time, it's a lonely path alone, not having a frame, an Iliad far from home, we sit out the fray, anchors take the strain, ride the tide and wait, listening to the stones, it’s better than to cry, we'll be gone, so far away, reasons more to say, let us not fight, our horizons honed, try to sail away, carry the flow, there'll be no stain, the moon is our gain, this strong lovely night, brings us the day.
