Lend me an ear I got
So many things to say
Sit down, clear the table
And the world away
When I send my letters
Somewhere into outer space
Will signal be received
Will you reciprocate
Will you leave my words
Orbiting like waste
Will you recount memories
Of times that got away
And tales of mysteries that
Faded away
And tales of mysteries that fade
I get caught in history
When even children married
Vowing the tattered edges
Of naiveté
There are trees in the yards
Where you planted stems
It was early in the century
when you planted them
I’d write a book for every minute
If I had a day
Either that or I would watch
the sun drift away
Either way You’d be the star
Washed out by the rays
Yes, you would be the star
Washed by rays
You may not recognize me now
And I’m sure you’re someone new
Somewhere out there orbiting
far beyond the moon
Will you now come back to me
If only in my mind
Time has made us strangers
But I still call you mine
Though the world pushes us apart
And we are so inclined
We remain old partners
In unsolved crimes
We are forever partners
Who ran out of time
We are forever partners
Somewhere out of time

Everybody sees me and you
And they say there’s love between those two
I would love to say they’re all right
And validate everyone tonight
But looks can be deceiving
And love can be just a feeling
And everybody knows, yes everybody knows
That feelings come and go
I looked deep into your eyes
As we danced up until sunrise
We declared our love timeless then
We were kids, was it all pretend?
‘Cause looks can be deceiving
And love can be just a feeling
And everybody knows, yes everybody knows
That feelings come and go
I said our love is a journey
It’s the fable of you and me
Look at how far we have come
You shrugged and said it’s just a trail of crumbs
Looks can be deceiving
And love can be just a feeling
And everybody knows, yes everybody knows
That feelings come and go

You turn a green leaf over
Braid locks of new truth
Assembling the fleet of recompense
From our old telephone phone booth
Our path is not abandoned
Our footprints in sand companions
Our wedding guests of millions
Dance beside the ocean
I will see you at twilight
As the full moon takes flight
We will all be dressed in white
a new year is born tonight
Not a trace of us is gone
Our love radiates on
And as per ever I will see you
Tonight at Révellion
Among all your treasure
I cannot deny this loss
Oh this font of mourning Between
Stations of the cross
Our covenant flow in two sons’ veins
Your words to them on my blank page
And the book we will gift to them
Will be their coming of age
I will see you at twilight
As the full moon takes flight
We will all be dressed in white
a new year is born tonight
Not a trace of us is gone
Our love radiates on
And as per ever I’ll see you
Tonight at Révellion

I don’t deny the gold twilight
I don’t deny the setting night
I don’t deny the softened waves
I don’t deny their lazy sway
I don’t deny the sun had set
I don’t deny I can’t forget
I don’t deny the silhouette
I don’t deny that we met
So won’t you now confess to me
Whatever did you do to me
During that missing scene
I saw you standing by the sea
I don’t deny I couldn’t sleep
I don’t deny the night was deep
I don’t deny I saw the moon
I don’t deny I fell too soon
So won’t you now confess to me
Whatever did you do to me
I just held you close to me
Gently strolling by the sea
I don’t deny the mountainscape
I don’t deny sighs escaped
I don’t deny the memory
I don’t deny it stayed with me
So won’t you now confess to me
Whatever did you do to me
For a whole eternity
I left you standing by the sea

I remember when you lost
control Between the stars
Wearing your skin so proudly
like a battle scar
I counted every single pearl
You raised from the seabed
And rearranged every single
Hair upon your head
The critics raved on and on
We were darlings of an era
The crowd went wild in my mind
And you in my camera
It’s a room, that’s all it was
But hey it’s bigger than life
And the earth it shook with the scandal
Of the master’s wife
So shake again in memory
rattle me like a crime
And bury me in the sands
Of a forgotten time
Was it the bands holding you back
Or the songs that escaped
The shameless words that you mouthed
Or the modesty you faked
The wind blew wild and
Each blade in the moonlight bathed
The joy was in turning
Each page you forbade
Some kind of summer, some kind of winter
The reverse of every action
That shooting star burned clean
Through the veil of satisfaction
It’s a room, that’s all it was
But hey it’s bigger than life
And the earth it shook with the scandal
Of the master’s wife
So shake again in memory
rattle me like a crime
And bury me in the sands
Of a forgotten time

I’ve spent a lot of time in vain
So many waves have come and gone
I’ve missed them all
Caught up in a daylight dream
Thinking of what I might
If I could hold it all up to the light
But the sun doesn’t go down
It goes around
The sea has stirred the sky has burned
My times been spilt
behind some wall
I want to keep so much
Of these places and people
By they seem to slip away
But the sun doesn’t go down
It goes around
In my mind you go round and round
In my mind you go round and round
