I had a melody, Ben added music and more lyrics, Bree injected vocal harmony. None of us are song writers, we gave it a go. Volia! A collaboration of a song came together.
I love you my hard Englishman Your rage is like a fist in my womb Can’t you forgive what you think I’ve done And love me – I’m your woman And I desire you my hard Englishman And there is no more natural thing So why should I not get loving Don’t be cold Englishman
How come you’ve never said you love me In all the time you’ve known me How come you never say you’re sorry And I do
Ah, please talk to me Englishman What good will shutting me out get done Meanwhile crazies are killing our sons Oh listen – Englishman I’ve honoured you – hard Englishman Now I am calling your heart to my own Oh let glorious love be done Be truthful – Englishman
How come you’ve never said you love me In all the time you’ve known me How come you never say you’re sorry And I do I do
The falling leaves Drift by my window The autumn leaves Of red and gold I see your lips The summer kisses The sunburned hands I used to hold Since you went away The days grow long And soon I’ll hear Old winter’s song But I miss you most of all, my darling When autumn leaves start to fall Since you went away The days grow long And soon I’ll hear Old winter’s song But I miss you most of all, my darling When autumn leaves start to fall Yes, I miss you most of all, my darling When autumn leaves start to fall
We touched like watercolour fawns In landscapes painted by Cezanne Like lovers floating painted by Chegall But you and I were you-I then We thought the rush would never end We thought the sky, the sky would never fall We lived we loved we laughed we cried We’ll never die, and now I think of you And I change right into Mr Blue Instrumental We lived we loved we laughed we cried We’ll never die, and now I think of you And I change right into Mr Blue You say your lover buys you lace I say he’s fine, I like his face I guess you still think love will conquere all I know, but it’s not what you think I only hope it stays in sync I only want, I want to wish you well We lived we loved we laughed we cried We’ll never die, and now I think of you And I change right into Mr Blue
You were the one who taught me That even the stars twinkling hundreds of millions of light years away have a life span You were also the one who showed me The infinite life in a flower that blooms with the seasons last song for you last song for you We part ways without making any promises last song for you last song for you I can’t say when ‘next time’ will be I just know I won’t forget your burning hands, Your kisses, your warmth, everything about you Please don’t watch as I go
Thank you for your kindness Thank you for your tenderness Thank you for your smile Thank you for your love Thank you for your everything, rather than goodbye
You were the one who supported me by saying passionate things Through all those days that I spent so confused, I couldn’t sleep You were also the one who made my heart dream Even though, at times, I felt so discouraged and alone last song for you last song for you We part ways, hiding our tears last song for you last song for you The same as always, like it’s nothing I just know I won’t forget your voice calling me, Your cheers, your kindness, everything about you I’m going to leaveーdon’t watch me go
Thank you for your kindness Thank you for your tenderness Thank you for your smile Thank you for your love Thank you for your everything, rather than goodbye Rather than goodbye, rather than goodbye
I visited the Van Gogh Alive in the Sydney Entertainment Quarter today. It was a real treat and it reminded me of this song which is one of my favourites.
