When the laughter fade away
Ma vie
Tout ma vie
When there’s nothing more to say
Ma vie
My oh my
It’s the last laugh of the laughter
Sur la dernier page du chapitre
On the last day of the year
Ma vie
Tout ma vie
When the spotlight fade away
Ma vie
C’est la vie
When the blue skies turns to grey
Ma vie
Tout ma vie
It’s the last laugh of the laughter
Sur la dernier page du chapitre
On the last day of the year
Ma vie
Tout ma vie
When the laughter fades away
Ma vie
Tout ma vie
When there’s nothing more to say
Ma vie
My oh my
It’s the last laugh of the laughter
Sur la dernier page du chapitre
On the last day of the year
Ma vie
Tout ma vie
Ma vie
My oh my
All I wanted was the chance to say
I would like to see you in the morning
Rolling over just to have you there
Would make it easy for a little bit longer
But here
Closer every year
So near
The fear is coming clear
My dear
The fear is here
Hottest summer in a hundred years
But summer didn’t bother
getting up this morning
And so all the trees forgot to wake
They were dropping all their leaves
on the ground below them
But here
Closer every year
So near
The fear is coming clear
My dear
The fear is here
All I wanted was the chance to say
I would like to see you in the morning
Rolling over just to have you there
Would make it easy for a little bit longer
Make it easy for a little bit longer
Make it easy for a little bit longer
Make it easy for a little bit longer
Make it easy for a little bit longer
Make it easy for a little bit longer
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember
How you were gonna stay free?
But they had plans for you
And things to do
The same thing goes for me
Well well I never
Saw it coming to me
But when I turned around
To look at you
It was all that I could do
To see the distance
Everybody wants to run
And I’m no different
Feeling like the only one
In the beginning
Everything was so close
And it seemed that everywhere you go
Everybody knows
You don’t remember
What you wanted to be
Well they went round the class
And you were last
The clock was fast
So no one asked
To see the distance
Everybody wants to run
And I’m no different
Feeling like the only one
Well how long can you run?
How far and what for?
How far will you run
To get whatever you’re after
Year after year after year
Well I’ve been looking
But I still can’t see
How we get from a to b to c
And feel like we should be
Well I’ve been running
But I’ve been running around
Now there’s nothing left for me to do
But sit around and see the view
And see the distance
Everybody wants to run
And I’m no different
Feeling like the only one
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
You broke the bread
We drank the wine
Your lip was bleedin’ but it was fine
Come on inside, babe, across the line
I love you more than I
But then this bird just flew away
She was never meant to stay
Oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring
You broke your word
Now that’s a lie
We had a deal that you would try
Come on inside, girl, I think it’s time
High time we drew the line
But then this bird just flew away
While I looked the other way
Oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring
Oh you broke my soul
Dear you stole the plot
You left an empty shot
There’s nothing left here ‘cos you took the lot
An empty cage is all I’ve got
‘Cos when your bird has flown away
She was never meant to stay
Oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring
To keep her caged would just delay the spring
It’s so sad to be alone
No one cares for no one’s home
So if you’re there
Pick up the phone
Cos I’m standing on my own
Ain’t it good to know you’re right
And don’t it soothe (suit) the darker nights
But pretty soon it will be light
Ain’t it good to know you’re right
But I’m standing on my own
And this house is not a home
It’s so sad to see you go
Things are high, things are low
And it’s good to know you know
If you got nowhere to go
And you could spend the night with me
I will sleep on the settee
It’s so sad to be alone
No one cares cos no one’s home
So if you’re there
Pick up the phone
Because I’m standing on my own
Because I’m standing on my own
