there is a child sleeping near his twin
the pictures go wild in a rush of wind
that dark angel he is shuffling in
watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled
 
the love you lost with her skin so fair
is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair
her green eyes blew goodbyes
with her head in her hands 
 and your kiss on the lips of another
dream brother with your tears scattered round the world.
 
don't be like the one who made me so old
don't be like the one who left behind his name
'cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
and nobody ever came...

don't be like the one who made me so old
don't be like the one who left behind his name
'cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
and nobody ever came...

don't be like the one who made me so old
don't be like the one who left behind his name
'cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
nobody ever came
nobody ever...

I feel afraid and I call your name
I love your voice and your dance insane
I hear your words and I know your pain
with your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another
your eyes to the ground and the world spinning round forever
asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over

ah do you meet the one I love
and smell the one who loves you
dream brother, dream brother, dream, dream
 dream asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over

the way young lovers do

we...
we strolled through fields all wet with rain
and back along the lane again
there in the sunshine
in the sweet summertime
oh the way that young lovers do
 
I kissed you on the lips once more
we said goodbye at your front door 
there in the nighttime
love, that's the right time
oh to feel the way that young lovers do
 
then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that we were and the
way that we wanted to be
then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you
and that you were for me
and then we long to dance the night away
and turned to each other saying 'I love you, baby I love you'
oh the way that young lovers do
 
oh the way...
oh the way that young lovers do
the way young lovers do
the way young lovers do
the way young lovers do
the way young lovers do
the way young lovers...

now won't you love me the way young lovers do
oh won't you love me the way that young lovers do
oh the way...

won't you love me the way that young lovers do
it's so close
I can't feel you
take your time on my body
aren't you weird of going crazy
crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy...
 
and we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that we were and the way
 that we wanted to be
and we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you
 and that you were for me
oh, baby, babe
then we long to dance the night away
and turned to each other saying 'I love you, baby, I love you'
oh, yes...

(I versi seguenti sono tratti da Ivo dei Cocteau Twins)
peep hole, peach blow, pandora, pompadour
pale leaf, pink sweet, persephone

I held her with her looking down
and I kissed her, with the snow falling down
there in the street light
oh, it was a sweet night
and the way that young lovers do
oh, the way that young lovers do
oh the way that young... Oh
oh the ways you do, yes it's you... Yes

(Quelli seguenti sono alcuni versi di That's all I ask di Nina Simone)
oh, don't try to blow out the sun from me, baby
oh, and I'm hopin' for what I know can't be
all that I ask is for your kiss each day
and I'll give you love that will never go away
I'll give you love that will never go away

oh the way that young lovers do

je n'en connais pas la fin / hymne a l'amour

hallelujah

I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
but you don't really care for music, do you? 
well it goes like this:
the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing Hallelujah
 
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
 
well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrough ya
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
 
well, maybe I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live with Leonard before I knew ya
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
 
there was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show that to me do ya
but remember when I moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath you drew was Hallelujah

hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
 
and maybe there's a God above
but all I've ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
well it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
 
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, halle...
it's not what you're told
it's not her face
it's not his touch
in the room you both share
where he's gone when he loved
when your time and your memory fills your dreams
when you're honest and together
together no more
no more
hallelujah, until you're nothing
hallelujah, baby, until she's everywhere
hallelujah, until together you are somewhere I'd lost
hallelujah, hallelujah.

bonne nuit... bonne nuit... I love you... I love you... we love you... thank you
