Before your father hears us dear
I have something I have to say
I need you ever closer dear
I need you here both night and day
Don't let him stand in our way!
Before your father hears us dear
Love, let us fly into the dark
And how we flee into the night
Our bodies cast beneath the stars
Don't let him tear us apart!
Before your father hears us dear
I have something I have to say
I need you ever closer dear
I need you here both night and day

North

The bells are ringing over the city
And here the clouds sit low in the sky
The cars, they echo slow off the hillside
And the wind, it whispers
North
I want to be the man who loves you
Why can't you see that I need to
That I need you
The night, it lingers soft on our fingers
And the wind, it whispers, Tu es perdu
And along this river time moves quicker
I want to be the man who loves you
Why can't you see that I need to
That I need you
The night, it lingers soft on our fingers
And my mind, it travels
North
I want to be the man who loves you
Why can't you see that I need to
That I need you

Romeo
04:19
|

|
My ball and chain
She moves against the sea again
Silent and obscured, shallow and unsure
Shaboom, shaboom
Her heart it goes
It raps against her chest again
Muddles out the pain
Cast like wind and rain
She moves, she moves
My libido is sprung
And my heart it did long
For your wondrous touch
But as night it drew on
I could hear the faint sound of a crowd
Hark, their voices they sang
Go get Romeo
His Juliet is on her back
And she is giving away
Everything that they had
Go get Romeo
His Juliet is on her back again
My ball and chain
She drove me to feel young again
Oh the way she moves, seduction through and through
Shaboom, shaboom
She stomped her boots to the sound of an erotic aged guitar
And the sound of my heart came out in unison
But far away they sang, she'll be back in his bed again
Go get Romeo
His Juliet is on her back
And she is giving away
Everything that they had
Go get Romeo
His Juliet is on her back again
My libido is sprung
And my heart, it did long
For your wondrous touch

All is Dark

All is dark
All is quiet
And we're still moving fast
All is calm
All is cool
And we're still moving fast
Down the night it comes, out
Shaking the light
Here it sets
Maybe there's a place for me
Far beyond this Eastern sea
Here we move against the stream

The Bells

Love, give me your time
And pour me more wine
Set by the fire, we two
And I'd give it all for you
'Cause now, out in the streets
It's silent, it's sweet
And echoing soft
How the bells
They played their songs for you
And the bells
They played their songs for you
Oh, how now the night
It pulls down the light
Here how the stars shine through
And I'd give it all for you
'Cause now out in the streets
It's silent, it's sweet
And echoing soft
How the bells
They played their songs for you
And the bells
They played their songs for you
Hold me under
My heart's a mess
Loud like thunder
Straight from my chest
Oh, outside it's cold
So dear, grab your coat
The city is quiet
And the bells
They played their songs for you
And the bells
They played their songs for you

Got Soul
Hey I've got soul if you want it
Still you need more than you're given
I've got my own now
Shake down your boots in the evening
Fly from your coup when you're feeling
I've got my own now
Now that the rain comes down they want you
Now that you're moving out they need you
Now that the sun goes down, now
Shake down your boots in the evening
Fly from your coup when you're feeling
I've got my own now
Here in the night you did feel their arms
Grasped so tight to your back
And I've got my own now
Now that the rain comes down they want you
Now that you're moving out they need you
Now that the sun goes down, now
Now that the wind, it howls
Their hearts, they break with the bitter sound
They need you
A piece of me is a piece of you right now
And there's no time for you, my dear
So there's no reason why I'm here
And there's no time for you, my friend
So there's a reason for an end

Ich liebte dich, aber vergan deine Gierigkeit ist es fertig

Sell Yourself Lightly

Sell yourself lightly
Daily and nightly
She moves to the strings of an aging guitar
Moving so queerly
Speaking so clearly
She makes herself known with a boisterous guffaw
She goes,
Oh, I'm alone and so far
Softly, slowly
Hilter, kilter
Out into the streets with an aging guitar
Now the wind wails
And she'll set sail
Out into the streets with a boisterous guffaw
Sell yourself daily
Speaking so hasty,
Tell me you love me, you know we've come far!
But oh now she's shaking
Spinning and quaking
Armed to the teeth with a boisterous guffaw
Oh and the band it rises up
Oh and she's never coming down
Softly, slowly
Hilter, kilter
Out into the streets with an aging guitar
Now the wind wails
And she'll set sail
Out into the streets with a boisterous guffaw

Backwards and Forwards

Backwards and forwards and backwards and forwards
Backwards and forwards and backwards and forwards
Now he adores her and now he does scorn her
Backwards and forwards she wants him to be
But their moment ran out when his heart ceased to beat
Oh no,
How now the silence grows
Out from the way they were
And how now they’re stationed
Oh no, now that they know
Backwards and forwards and backwards and forwards
Backwards and forwards and backwards and forwards
Now he adores her and now he does mourn her
Backwards and forwards he wants her to be
But their moment ran out when her heart ceased to beat
Oh no,
How now the silence grows
Out from the way they were
And how now they’re stationed
Oh no, now that they know
Backwards and forwards they wanted to be
But their moment ran out when their hearts ceased to beat
Oh no,
Now that the silence holds
Out for the words they'd known
But how now they’re stationed
Oh no,
Now that the night moves on
Pulls from the sound
That's bringing us down
Backwards and forwards and backwards and forwards
And backwards and forwards and backwards and forwards

Like Passing Ships
03:21

|
This is how we're supposed to be
Out beneath these falling leaves
I held you to my chest
You're better off like that
Love I'm used to playing the fool
The vagabond, the moving ghoul
Who's slow to slip and fade
When all the leaves, they are swept away
Sha la la, sha la la
You're better off beneath that man
Than in my arms love
This is where we speak so slow
Out into the towns we go
The dawn it rides our backs
Oh my love, though my heart is moved
The wind may pull my lips from you
And we might stand to be
Like passing ships on the open sea
Sha la la, sha la la
You're better off beneath that man
Than in my arms love
Love don't let your heart dismay
Save it for a rainy day
And you'll be the first to know
If I stay or if I go

In the Avenue
Here in the morning she shakes the sunlight from her brow
Places her feet to the floor and slowly stretches out
Her legs take shape and reveal an orange silhouette
Silent she lifts up her hands to light her cigarette
Down right here the silence fades
She moves into the crowd, she evaporates
Down right here the streets all look the same
She moves along, she evaporates
A sea of motion the cars, they flicker in her eyes
Forming odd shapes with the bodies of the passersby
Flowers and curtains, they move so softly in the breeze
How now the wind whispers slow atop her tiny feet
Down right here the silence fades
She moves into the crowd, she evaporates
Down right here the streets all look the same
She moves along, she evaporates
Here in the market the old men smile and sell their goods
These bakers, butchers, and buyers smile as old friends would
She lifts her head and the sun, it flares in orange hues
How now she's moving along against the avenue
Down right here the silence fades
She moves into the crowd, she evaporates
Down right here the streets all look the same
She moves along, she evaporates
Down right here her heart, it quakes
She moves into the crowd, she evaporates
Down right here the streets all look the same
She moves along, she evaporates

Le noir est détruit par le soleil
Son dos est caressé par ses rayons
Elle se promène avec, dans l'avenue
L'étincelle qui a brisé la nuit
English
The darkness is destroyed by the sun
And her back is caressed by it's rays
She strolls with them in the avenue
She is the spark which shattered the night

Upon Cobblestone Streets

I could be one of a million of loves
Taken aback, not more than a second in time
And these streets they'll know my name
The ones to come, the ones that came
And there she sits out in a nearby cafe
Though she seems miles and miles away
Listen close and you'll hear
The sound of breaking hearts, my dear
Please believe me
When I tell you you're something
Hold me love, yes
Clutch me to your breast
As the sound of breaking hearts pulls back
Now we move silent like one silhouette
But oh the words love that she tries to forget
How the sounds they ring so clear
And how these nights bring on her fears
Please believe me
When I tell you you're something
Hold me love, yes
Clutch me to your breast
As the sound of breaking hearts pulls back
So slow we slip away
Like shadows to the shade
This candle burns itself out at both ends
Like it always was, but has never been
Français

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption
