Je cherche l'ombre
Je cherche l'ombre
Pour danser avec toi
Mon amour
Sur ces musiques anciennes
Qui reviennent en mémoire
Quand le soleil s'éteint
Et que revient le soir
Je cherche l'ombre
Pour nous mettre à l'abri
Mon amour
Pour découvrir ton corps
Loin de toute lumière
Et pour t'aimer encore
Comme une étrangère
Je cherche l'ombre
Pour éteindre le feu
Mon amour
Qui dévore mon âme
Et brûle dans mes veines
De ce désir infâme
Qui en moi se déchaîne
Je cherche l'ombre
Pour pleurer avec toi
Mon amour
Sur cette vie trop courte
Qui file entre nos doigts
Et qui mange les jours
En m'éloignant de toi
Je cherche l'ombre
Je cherche l'ombre
Comme on cherche un ami
Mon amour
Qui me prendra la main
Sans larmes, sans chagrin
Pour nous conduire ailleurs
Cacher notre bonheur
Cacher notre bonheur
Je cherche l'ombre
Je cherche l'ombre
Je cherche l'ombre
She's sun and rain, she's fire and ice
A little crazy but it's nice
And when she gets mad, you best leave her alone
'Cause she'll rage just like a river
Then she'll beg you to forgive her
Oh, she's every woman that I've ever known.
She's so New York and then L.A.
And every town along the way
And she's every place that I've never been
She's makin love on rainy nights
She's a stroll through Christmas lights
And she's everything I want to do again.
It needs no explanation
'Cause it all makes perfect sense
For when it comes down to temptation
She's on both sides of the fence.
No it needs no explanation
'Cause it all makes perfect sense
When it comes down to temptation
She's on both sides of the fence.
She's anything but typical
She's so unpredictable
Oh but even at her worst she ain't that bad
She's as real as real can be
And she's every fantasy
Lord she's every lover that I've ever had
And she's every lover that I've never had
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
Chorus:
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
chorus
Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could
you do?
(Solo)
chorus repeats 2x
If you please, if you please, if you please
Lyrics & Music: Janna Allen, Daryl Hall
My friends wonder why I call you all of the time
What can I say
I don't feel the need to give such secrets away
You think maybe I need help, no, I know that I'm right
I'm just better off not listening to friends' advice
When they insist on knowing my bliss
I tell them this
When they want to know what the reason is
I only smile when I lie, then I tell them why
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist
I go crazy wondering what there is to really see
Did the night just take up your time, 'cause it means more to me
Sometimes I forget what I'm doing, I don't forget what I want
Regret what I've done, regret you? I couldn't go on
And if you insist on knowing my bliss
I'll tell you this
If you want to know what the reason is
I'll only smile when I lie, then I'll tell you this
Les étoiles étaient dans le ciel
Toi dans les bras de Gabriel
Il faisait beau c’était dimanche
Les cloches allaient bientôt sonner
Tu allais tu marier
Dans ta première robe blanche
L’automne était bien commencé
Les troupeaux étaient tous rentrés
Et parties toutes les sarcelles
Et le soir au son du violon
Les filles et surtout les garçons
T’aurais dit que tu était belle
Évangéline, Évangéline
Mais les anglais sont arrivés
Dans l’église ils ont enfermé
Tous les hommes de ton village
Et les femmes du passé
Avec les enfants qui pleuraient
Toute la nuit sur le rivage
Au matin ils ont embarqué
Gabriel sur un grand voilier
Sans un adieu sans un sourire
Et toute seule sur le quai
Tu as essayé de prier
Mais tu n’avais plus rien à dire
Évangéline, Évangéline
Alors pendant plus de 20 ans
Tu as recherché ton amant
À travers toute l’Amérique
Dans les plaines et les vallons
Chaque vent murmurait son nom
Comme la plus jolie musique
Même si ton cœur était mort
Ton amour grandissait plus fort
Dans le souvenir et l’absence
Il était toutes ta pensée
Et chaque jour il fleurissait
Dans le grand jardin du silence
Évangéline, Évangéline
Tu vécu dans le seul désir
De soulager et de guérir
Ceux qui souffrait plus que toi-même
Tu appris qu’au bout de chagrin
On trouve toujours un chemin
qui mène à celui qui nous aime
Ainsi un dimanche matin
Tu entendis dans le lointain
Les carillons de ton village
Et soudain alors tu compris
Que tes épreuves étaient finies
Ainsi que le très long voyage
Évangéline, Évangéline
Devant toi était étendu
Sur un grabat un inconnu
Un vieillard mourant de faiblesse
Dans la lumière du matin
Son visage sembla soudain
Prendre les traits de sa jeunesse
Gabriel mourut dans tes bras
Et sur sa bouche tu déposa
Un baiser long comme ta vie
Il faut avoir beaucoup aimé
Pour pouvoir encore retrouver
La force de dire un merci
Évangéline, Évangéline
Il existe encore aujourd’hui
Des gens qui vivent dans ton pays
Qui de ton nom se souviennent
Car l’océan parle de toi
Les vents du sud portent ta voix
De la forêt jusqu’à la plaine
Ton nom c’est plus que l’Acadie
Plus que l’espoir d’une patrie
Ton nom dépasse les frontières
Ton nom c’est le nom de tous ceux
Qui malgré qui soient malheureux
Voit ton amour et qui espère
Évangéline, Évangéline, Évangéline
You came to me this morning
And you handled me like meat
You’d have to be a man to know
How good that feels, how sweet
My mirror twin, my next of kin
I’d know you in my sleep
And who but you would take me in
A thousand kisses deep
I loved you when you opened
Like a lily to the heat
You see I’m just another snowman
Standing in the rain and sleet
Who loved you with his frozen love
His secondhand physique
With all he is and all he was
A thousand kisses deep
I know you had to lie to me
I know you had to cheat
To pose all hot and high
Behind the veils of sheer deceit
Our perfect porn aristocrat
So elegant and cheap
I’m old but I’m still into that
A thousand kisses deep
I’m good at love, I’m good at hate
It’s in between I freeze
Been working out but it’s too late
(It’s been too late for years)
But you look good, you really do
They love you on the street
If you were here I’d kneel for you
A thousand kisses deep
The autumn moved across your skin
Got something in my eye
A light that doesn’t need to live
And doesn’t need to die
A riddle in the book of love
Obscure and obsolete
And witnessed here in time and blood
A thousand kisses deep
But I’m still working with the wine
Still dancing cheek to cheek
The band is playing Auld Lang Syne
But the heart will not retreat
I ran with Diz, I sang with Ray
I never had their sweet
But once or twice they let me play
A thousand kisses deep
I loved you when you opened
Like a lily to the heat
You see I’m just another snowman
Standing in the rain and sleet
Who loved you with his frozen love
His secondhand physique
With all he is and all he was
A thousand kisses deep
But you don’t need to hear me now
And every word I speak
It counts against me anyhow
A thousand kisses deep
I loved you for a long, long time, I know this love is real
It don't matter how it all went wrong, that don't change the way I feel
And I can't believe that time's gonna heal this wound I'm speaking of
There ain't no cure, there ain't no cure, there ain't no cure for love
I'm aching for you baby, I can't pretend I'm not
I need to see you naked in your body and your thought
I've got you like a habit and I'll never get enough
There ain't no cure, there ain't no cure, there ain't no cure for love
There ain't no cure for love, there ain't no cure for love
All the rocket ships are climbing through the sky
The holy books are open wide, the doctors working day and night
But they'll never ever find that cure for love
There ain't no drink, no drug, ah tell them, angels
There's nothing pure enough to be a cure for love
I see you in the subway and I, I see you on the bus
I see you lying down with me, I see you waking up
I see your hand, I see your hair, your bracelets and your brush
And I call to you, I call to you, but I don't call soft enough
There ain't no cure, there ain't no cure, there ain't no cure for love
I walked into this empty church I had no place else to go
When the sweetest voice I've ever heard, whispered to my soul
I don't need to be forgiven for loving you so much
It's written in the scriptures, it's written there in blood
I even heard the angels declare it from above
There ain't no cure, there ain't no cure, there ain't no cure for love
There ain't no cure for love, there ain't no cure for love
All the rocket ships are climbing through the sky
The holy books are open wide, the doctors working day and night
But they'll never ever find that cure, that cure for love
No cure for love, there ain't no cure for love
No cure for love, there ain't no cure for love
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
I saw you this morning.
You were moving so fast.
Can’t seem to loosen my grip
On the past.
And I miss you so much.
There’s no one in sight.
And we’re still making love
In My Secret Life.
I smile when I’m angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do
To get by.
But I know what is wrong,
And I know what is right.
And I’d die for the truth
In My Secret Life.
Hold on, hold on, my brother.
My sister, hold on tight.
I finally got my orders.
I’ll be marching through the morning,
Marching through the night,
Moving cross the borders
Of My Secret Life.
Looked through the paper.
Makes you want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die.
And the dealer wants you thinking
That it’s either black or white.
Thank G-d it’s not that simple
In My Secret Life.
I bite my lip.
I buy what I’m told:
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I’m always alone.
And my heart is like ice.
And it’s crowded and cold
In My Secret Life.
