The Moth and the Moon

She lived in a perfect world, she had the perfect life
She was with both man and babe, she made the perfect wife
But then one day she looked at the moon, and saw that he was sad
And then the moon he looked back at her, and secretly she was glad

She was falling…
She was falling for the moon
.. the moon so sad

She lived in a perfect world, she had the perfect life
But she had a secret world, where things were not quite right
Every night she stared at the moon, though she fought with all her might
But still, she could not break the spell of the glimmering silver light

She was falling…
She was falling for the moon
… oh so so bad

[ mini break ]

She had a secret world, but feared it would end too soon
So one night she caught the moon and she locked him in her room
Every night she unlocked the door and took a peek inside
But the room it was far too bright to see the tears the moon had cried

She had fallen…
She had fallen for the moon
… the moon so sad

[ middle 8 ]

She had a secret life, but she knew it would end too soon
The cocoon she’d made, it suited her, but for the moon it was a tomb
Every night the moon cried out, please will you set me free?
But the moon she’d locked up in her heart, and she’d thrown away the key

She had fallen…
She had fallen for the moon
… oh so so bad

She once had a secret world, and she had to bring it back
But the moon he never answered her, and the sky was always black
Every night she banged on his door, and then she cried and cried
But the room it was far too dark to see the moon had died,
The moon had died inside

She had fallen…
She had fallen for the moon
… oh so so bad

She had fallen…
She had fallen for the moon
… the moon so sad

Parapluie [short version]

Toujours la pluie
Toujours la pluie

V1
Tu dis qu’aujourd’hui
Le soleil brille, le soleil brille
Mais dans mon jardin
Il y a toujours la pluie, toujours la pluie

Chorus
Et je dis, oh mon chéri,
Sois mon abri,
Et tu dis, oh ma chérie,
J’ai un parapluie

V2
Pour toi, Les jours d’été
Sont arrivés, sont arrivés
Pour moi, les averses d’avril
Viennent de couler, viennent de couler

M8
Et je vois ton beau visage
A travers la pluie
Et je trouve mon courage
Quand tu souris
A travers la pluie

V3
Tu dis, le temps est bon
Pour la romance, pour la romance
Et moi, puis-je prendre
une chance, prendre une chance?

Chorus

Outro
Et la pluie sussure Je t’aime
Et la pluie sussure Je t’aime
Et la pluie sussure Je t’aime

One Thousand Years

One thousand lonely years
Never will be long enough
To forget you

One thousand ruby sunsets
Never will be bright enough
To hide your smile

One thousand ruby sunsets
Never could be deeper than
Your dark brown eyes

One thousand lonely nights
Never will be dark enough
To hide your light

And the rain comes every night to wash away my tears
Though you have been gone these many years

Every night I dream of you
Every day I see your joy in his boyish smile

One thousand silver suns
Never can shine bright enough
To hide your smile

And the rain comes every night to soak me in my tears

Every time I think of you
Every time I look back
Every time you say you
Every time I think it’s new
Every time I think I am through
Always there is something new

Every night I dream of you
Every day I wake to find you gone again
Every day I feel the pain
When I can find no trace
Until I see you smile again
in our son’s boyish face

And when I can find no trace of you

All I have to do

Is see our son’s boyish face

And there’s your smile again

Parapluie

Toujours la pluie

V1
Tu dis qu’aujourd’hui
Le soleil brille, le soleil brille
Mais dans mon jardin
Il y a toujours la pluie, toujours la pluie

Chorus
Et je dis, oh mon chéri,

Pour toi, Les jours d’été

Pour moi, les averses d’avril
Viennent de couler, viennent de couler

Chorus

V3

Tu dis, le temps est bon
De prendre une chance, pour la romance
Tu veux que je revienne
à la danse, à la danse

M8
Et je vois ton beau visage
A travers la pluie
Et je trouve mon courage
Quand tu souris
A travers la pluie

V4
Tu dis, le temps est bon
Pour la romance, pour la romance
Et moi, puis-je prendre
une chance, prendre une chance?

Chorus

Outro
Et la pluie sussure Je t’aime
Et la pluie sussure Je t’aime

Romeo and Juliet

Like Romeo and Juliet
We yearned to be as one
We’d be the bravest lovers
Beneath the brightest sun
All there was, was you and me
Our souls did merge as one
And every day was poetry
Every evening filled with song

But how did we let it
How did we let it
Fade..?

Our love was light
We thought we had it made
We knew our lines
And every night we played
Our house was full
Our joy was on love’s stage
Our star was so bright…
So how did we let it
Fade..?

Like Romeo and Juliet
We knew our song was done
That gilded night as lovers
Would be our only one
All there was, was you and me
Our souls did merge as one
But now all that’s left is poetry
For all our love has gone
How did we let it
How did we let it
Fade..?

Our love was light
We thought we had it made
We knew our lines
And every night we played
Our house was full
Our joy was on love’s stage
Our star was so bright…
So how did we let it
Fade..?
 

Tonight

What’s with your glances
Your bold advances
Your crazy dances?
Tonight
Tonight

Yes, I have missed you
But I shall pooh-pooh
Your desperate shoo-shoo
Tonight
Tonight

You’re taking chances
With midnight fancies
Such sweet romances
In store
Tonight
Tonight

What makes you think that
That you can drink at
My house then wink at
The night?
Tonight

And what’s your basis
For making faces
In my oasis
Tonight
Tonight

Stop your advances
Your stupid glances
I’ll take my chances
Out there
Tonight
Tonight

Broken Dream

In your eyes I see the skies
And the vivid hue of an ocean blue
Your honey’ed smile cannot disguise
The broken dream inside of you

I loved you through the danger
Aboard that burning train
I loved you through my anger
And now I love you like the rain

I loved you like a stranger
As I roamed those dusty plains
I loved you like Lone Ranger
And now I love you like the rain

[Chorus]

So don’t you tell me you’re lonely
Don’t you tell me you miss me
Don’t you tell me that I’m only
Some kind of broken dream to you

[Instrumental Break]

I loved you in the morning
As the dark clouds filled with rain
Still the storm broke without warning
And now I love you like the rain

So don’t you tell me you’re lonely
Don’t you tell me you miss me
Don’t you tell me that I’m only
Some kind of broken dream to you

[Outro]
In your eyes I see the skies
And the vivid hue of an ocean blue
Your honeyed smile cannot disguise
The broken dream inside of you

Divine

Look at the sky
A shooting star
Is passing by
And I want to fly

A sleeping cat
I’m drinking wine
And hoping that
You’d be mine

My broken hat
The blazing fire
This blood is wine
And you’re my desire

Your words spill out
Like sparkling wine
Your lips are full
Your eyes divine

I wonder if
As you look at me
You’d accept my gift
What could we be?

But you’re from that place
I know your kind
I’ve seen your face
As souls unwind

You’d take my love
And ignore my call
It’s from above
But you’d keep it all

So I turn around
To say goodbye
It’s an empty sound
And a hollow cry

Cos deep inside
When you are gone
I know you lied
But we were one

Now tell me that
You love me now
Tell me why
And tell me how

Tell me that
You’ll follow me
Through all this chaos
And mystery

Let me see
You’ll be my guide
You’ll come to find me
When I hide

Though your eyes
Are black as coal
The blazing light
That is your soul

Illuminates me
On my darkest day
And recreates me
In every way

I wonder if
As you look at me
You’d accept my gift
What could we be?

But you’re from that place
I know your kind
I’ve seen your face
As souls unwind

You’d take my love
And ignore my call
It’s from above
But you’d keep it all

So I turn around
To say goodbye
It’s an empty sound
And a hollow cry

Cos deep inside
When you are gone
I know we lied
But we were one
