He was a sailor
|
A sailor at sea and a sailor of love
|
And he thought he could save her
|
Save her from innocence up and above
|
'cause he never knew freedom and under the duvet
|
He stayed for a lifetime without any government
|
Help or assistance
|
|
She was a widow
|
She never left home before seven a.m.
|
And she looked by the window
|
She managed to cry but she never felt blame
|
For the death of her husband who died in a flame by the house of the river
|
Although he remained
|
In a reasonable distance
|
|
All the children played around the neighborhood
|
All the children played around the neighborhood
|
The children she liked to invent for the life they were living was openly bent
|
All they had was eachother
|
|
He brought her flowers
|
A flesh in the pan as she didn't reply
|
And he waited for hours
|
Until she accepted to offer a smile
|
And a terrible whiskey she had for a while
|
That she'd sip every morning for breakfast and sigh
|
Since the month of december
|
|
They used to tango
|
Jump and parade until midnight or more
|
She convinced him to fargo
|
Drink lemonade with some awkward liquor
|
The she kissed him goodbye and attended the shore
|
Where she lit a big fire like never before
|
By the house of the river
|
|
All the children played around the neighborhood
|
All the children played around the neighborhood
|
The children she liked to invent for the life they were living was openly bent
|
All they had was eachother
|
|
She was a widow, again
|
She never left home before seven a.m.
|
And she looked by the window
|
She managed to cry but she never felt blame
|
For the death of her husband who died in a flame by the house of the river
|
Although he remained
|
In a reasonable distance
|
|
All the children played around the neighborhood
|
All the children played around the neighborhood
|
The children she liked to invent for the life they were living was openly bent
|
All she had was herself
|
|
(pour toi)
