Windy autumn
|
Evening by the river
|
Stands a man
|
A man and Gabrielle
|
|
Real looker
|
Her back began to shiver
|
Reminders of the months
|
Under his spell
|
|
He spoke in measure
|
She recognized his rhythm
|
Been a year
|
A year without a sound
|
|
She saw it comin
|
In gestures he delivered
|
Her eyes just kept
|
The ground....
|
|
Cause Gabrielle
|
Has learned to tell
|
The gap from
|
False to real
|
|
And needs a man
|
Who¡¯s sane at hand
|
In tenderness
|
Revealed
|
|
(He goes) I acted badly
|
Can you understand me?
|
The prace I¡¯m making
|
Cause I¡¯m a changed man
|
|
(I was) such a fool
|
In how I used to trat you
|
Such a fool
|
To beat you out of life
|
|
Gone the days
|
I leave you with no traces
|
Gone the day
|
You hate to see my face
|
|
I know it¡¯s late
|
I sweat and hesitate
|
Wouldn¡¯t it
|
Be great?
|
|
Cause Gabrielle
|
I mean you well
|
And we have healed
|
In time
|
|
For all the girls
|
In all the world
|
It¡¯s you I seek
|
To find, Gabrielle¡°
|
|
She stood dazed
|
Nude in amazent
|
She heard his words
|
A hundred times again
|
|
A fantasy has haunted her
|
For ages
|
That fantasy had now become
|
Her friend
|
|
She came upon
|
An earring in the street
|
Tearful pearl
|
With silver to the sides
|
|
She finally won
|
Her walk became a run
|
She felt as she
|
Could fly
|
|
Cause Gabrielle
|
Has learned to tell
|
The gap from
|
False to real
|
|
In her¡¯s the fan
|
Who¡¯ll meet the man
|
Cause love is
|
Strength revealed
|
|
Gabrielle....
