lyrics

Rainbow Bird

Broken down, trains going both ways
I can’t see anymore, through these clouded tears
my heart is calling out for yesterday
happily lost in streets and revealing cafes

She loves, she hates, with all her heart
This soft pillow, has turned a rock
How can change what I don’t know is wrong?

Her fire brought light to my dark
She was the Rainbow Bird

Seeing colours, when we laid as swans
Gently unfolding, in my singular universe
Compass haywire, lost at sea
There ain’t no way home, guided by tender brutality

She loves, she hates, with all her heart
This soft pillow, has turned a rock
How can I walk when every step is wrong?

Her fire brought light to my dark
She was the Rainbow Bird

How could you plunge into me, the coldest blade
and leave me out here on the mile, bleeding this way

L’amour s’en va comme cette eau courante
L’amour s’en va
Comme la vie est lente
Et comme l’Espérance est violente
Vienne la nuit sonne l’heure
Les jours s’en vont je demeure
Passent les jours et passent les semaines
Ni temps passé
Ni les amours reviennent

Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la Seine
The night falls and the hours ring
Vienne la nuit sonne l’heure
Les jours s’en vont je demeure
The days go away and I remain

Her fire brought light to my dark, with a spark
She was the Rainbow Bird
