darling

The black and yellow finches That nest in our new ferns Which hang upon our front porch Wait for the warm sun to return Impatiently, as I wait for you Impatiently, as I wait for you The night surrenders swiftly The moon retreats from sight The darkness that surrounds me The sun cuts like a knife to shine Impatiently Impatiently The birds singing The sun rising Impatiently As I wait for you For you For you For you

Darling can you see something inside Can't be denied it's the way that you feel If you want it, you gotta try Taking the best of the lesson you know When the night has turned to dawn I will be gone Where's the reason and the strength to carry on Come back, I can see you far behind Taking a chance and forgetting the reason That I need you on my mind Making the best of the season till now Is there nothing in the world that takes the sound For the more we can conceive the more we found La la la la Darling can you feel it? I need your love I need the way that you make me feel Darling if you want it, you can be sure Taking the best of the lesson you know There so many in the stars watching the sky And you know somehow that most of them will die Darling can you see something inside Can't be denied it's the way that you feel If you want it, you gotta try Taking the best of the lesson you know When the night has turned to dawn I will be gone Where's the reason and the strength to carry on

Really can't remember where I left my spine Carryin' my body in a bag for dimes Hidden in the pages of the New York Times at home And maybe I'll be better if I take my meds Ain't a doubleheader if you lose your head Try the medication that I bought instead It's workin' for a little, but there's not much left Darling, don't you weep There's a place for me Somewhere we can sleep See you in your dreams Ever since a little girl, I found it sweet Drivin' past a graveyard on a lonesome street All the little flowers gave me somethin' to believe in Never knew the feelin' of a stable home Been a couple years of livin' on the road Couldn't really tell you where they'd leave a stone To visit me when I am dead and gone Darlin', don't you weep There's a place for me Somewhere we can sleep I'll see you in your dreams Darlin', don't you cry Head fast toward the light Foolish men have tried But only you have shown me how to love bein' alive Until it's time to see the light I'll make my own with you each night I'll kidnap all the stars and I will keep them in your eyes I'll wrap them up in velvet twine And hang 'em from a fishin' line So I can see them anytime I like Darlin', don't you weep There's a place for me Somewhere we can sleep I'll see you in your dreams Darlin', don't you cry Head fast toward the light Foolish men have tried But only you have shown me how to love bein' alive

Il m'appelait darling En buvant son long drink Tout de lin blanc vêtu Pochette mauve et pieds nus Il m'appelait darling Comme un grand frère unique Un oncle d'Amérique Tout seul dans le living Il me disait darling L'époque est bien cruelle Mais pour toi elle est belle Tu es faite pour le ring Et il me disait darling Quand on a l'étincelle Et des rêves à la pelle On doit piquer son sprint Il m'appelait darling Comme un vieux lord anglais Un cousin égaré Entre Proust et Kipling Il m'appelait darling Tout en me souriant Et je le revois si grand Nostalgique et charming Il me disait darling Prends garde à l'existence Tout est dans l'élégance Même au creux d'un looping Il me disait darling Rien ne vaut l'éphémère Rien ne vaut le mystère Dans une larme de gin Il m'appelait darling Mais plus rien ne lui était cher Et sa solitude amère Lui allait comme un smoking Il m'appelait darling Mais quand tombait le soir À l'heure du désespoir Il plongeait dans son spleen Il me disait darling Certains sont trop fragiles Certains sont mal habiles Tout le monde n'a pas ton swing Et il me disait darling Je n'ai plus de saveur Je n'ai plus rien à cœur Plus l'ombre d'un feeling Il m'appelait darling Maintenant j'ai son silence Le trou de son absence Et sa montre Breitling Il m'a écrit darling À toi mon dernier mot Ne m'en veux pas darling Je quitte le bateau Et il m'a écrit darling Dis à ceux que j'aimais Que mon corps de bastringue A fini par lâcher
