Quarantine

Remains of the Day
By David Snyder

V1

It remains to be seen
If you and I will be alive
this time and place in another year
So we're just living for today
Cause we don't see another way
To overcome a world that’s based in fear

PC

But we will not
Surrender yet and
We will not
Soon forget
All the dreams we had
Along the way
And we will not accept these chains
When we dream of hope
Through window panes
At the remains 
The remains of the day

CH

So bang the drum and sing it loud
Raise the torch in the crowd
And if you can, then lead the way
Yeah bang the drum in the setting sun
They must remember what we've done
As we save whatever's left of this for us
In the remains of the day

V2

It remains to be seen
If you and I will still survive
but hey we know we're not the only ones
wise women say believe your eyes
truth is what you recognize
and I'd rather stay and fight than I would run

PC

So we will not
Surrender yet and
We will not
Soon forget
All the dreams we had
Along the way
And we will not accept these chains
When we dream of hope
Through window panes
At the remains 
The remains of the day

Down In Dixieland

When I'm coming home your always leaving.
When I want to talk well you just smile.

Chorus
If your with some one, I (sure)hope your having fun
I'll leave on the lights when you're gone. 
 

Bridge

Chorus

 If your with some one, I (sure)hope your having fun
I'll leave on the lights when you're gone.

I wish you'd stop and tell me how your feeling.
Then I'll do all I can to right my wrongs

Chorus
IIf your with some one, I (sure)hope your having fun
I'll leave on the lights when you're gone.

Bridge   

Chorus
If your with some one, I (sure)hope your having fun
I'll leave on the lights when you're gone.
I'll leave on the lights when your gone.
I'll leave on the lights when your gone.

I'll Leave On The Lights

Falling Leaves

Thierry Fraisse est l'auteur et l'interprète de cette chanson.

Le moment n'est plus à l'économie 
Je flambe comme aux cartes maintenant 
Ça n'est plus une question de survie 
Juste l'instant, l'instant présent 

Tout peut basculer, tout est fragile 
Ça ne tient vraiment qu'à un fil 
Mais pour l'heure, je marche, je ris 
Je pleure et jouis le jour et la nuit 

Que croyez-vous donc emporter ? 
Votre esprit est comme le mien 
Il s'envolera en petite fumée 
Et il n'en restera rien 

Rien si ce n'est quelques allusions 
Dans la bouche de certains vivants 
De vagues souvenirs brouillons 
Qu'ils ressasseront, exagérant 

J'aurais voulu que cela dure 
Même après moi, je vous le jure 
Mais voilà, tout se précipite 
Vers le dernier précipice

La vie n'en a que plus de saveur 
À quel prix, je vous le demande 
Faut-il autant de malheur 
Pour qu'elle se fasse ensorcelante ?

J'écoute les piafs qui s'égosillent 
Pour nous dire, il me semble 
Que tout ça fut beau à mourir 
Tiens voilà que j'en tremble...

Flamber

Falling Into The West

a land that only borrows
borrows the sun
from the gulls and the plow
on your dream`s horizon

in a dazzle of dust 
this myth of forever
your green eyes in pines
and the wild singing river

will I see your face
pass the test
between the devil and the stars
falling into the west

I ran from gold fever 
on a dead man`s horse
paid insult with blood
a preacher for remorse

hunger and the lash
led me to sail
now I`m drunk under a moon
red as your veil

looking for a place
to stand and rest
between the devil and the stars
falling into the west

a land that only borrows
borrows the sun
from the gulls and the plow
on your dream`s horizon

stars we questioned
now question me
can you keep a straight promise
on this crooked trail to the sea

looking for a place
to stand and rest
will I see you face
pass the test
between the devil and the stars
falling into the west

Falling Into The West

Love Love Love

A mysterious light
Cut a hole in the night
Fell while you counted sheep
I could tell by the skies
It was the moon in your eyes
You were fast asleep
There was no sound of the rain
I wasn’t going insane
It was the drumming of my heart
It was a brilliant display
Before the sun came our way
And hung in the sky like art

I know I can’t keep the night from fading
Or hold on to the light we knew
But I can dream beside you now
Blue moon you

Then a purposeful sun
Let the night be done
The sky was summer blue
I walked a million miles
Turned a million dials
Just to hear the morning news
There were no hurricanes
On my caffeine brain
It was one more day in our life
It was an early reminder
I needed to find her
Singing by the radio light

I know I can’t keep the night from fading
Or hold on to the light we knew
But I can dream beside you now
Blue moon you

The mysterious light
Makes its way every night
Covers you from the sky
I could tell by the dawn
It was a snowy morn
But the years they roll on by

I know I can’t keep the night from fading
Or hold on to the light we knew
But I can dream beside you now
Blue moon you

I'll Leave On The Lights
