If you're alone and you need a friend,
Someone to make you forget your problems,
Just come along baby
Take my hand,
I'll be your lover tonight.
I don't need the city tonight,
I just wanna feel alive,
Swiming in the dark tonight,
'Cuz I got bright lights in my mind,
And the colors won't fade 'till morning,
And the lovers won't leave 'till morning...
Let's go chasing stars this evening,
Eyes wide shut,
In fast cars dreaming,
We're tripping at the speed of light,
Who thought this could be paradise...
Sometimes I walk mysterious places
Hear voices that talk without a word to say
Sometimes I hear the echoes of laughter
In the twilight of affairs and other tragedies
A half-moon away, way too close to heaven
She had the Iook, but no morality
Sometimes it’s easy to forget only for a moment
But there are nights you regret eternally
— Merlin! This is one of the two…possibly three moments in my life where I’ve actually been glad to see you.
— That’s my thoughts exactly, Sire. How’re you feeling?
— Like death. Well, death warmed up, at least.
— I can imagine.
— Hm. Well it seems like we’ve both been through something of an ordeal.
— It wasn’t so bad, really. Once you get use to the eternal night and the rats, and the moldy pillows, living with a bucket of your own…
— Merlin. I’m sorry about what happened to you. Truly. Soon as I heard, I told them it couldn’t have been you who poisoned me.
I had all and then most of you,
some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do,
haunted by the ghost of you
Take me back to the night we met.
Le soleil au déclin empourprait la montagne
Et notre amour saignait comme les groseilliers
Puis étoilant ce pâle automne d'Allemagne
La nuit pleurant des lueurs mourait à nos pieds
Et notre amour ainsi se mêlait à la mort
Au loin près d'un feu chantaient des bohémiennes
Un train passait les yeux ouverts sur l'autre bord
Nous regardions longtemps les villes riveraines
Some days, you're the only thing I now
Only thing that's burning when the nights grow cold.
