Lyrics:
A yellowed teethed man with a french old song
quietly he plays for the birds

he pours his notes in the gutter streams
filling the city’s canals

Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now

As his lungs pull in the bitter smog
He gives a clean breath to a stray dog

A strange man indeed to let all see him bleed
never thinking he’s done a good deed

Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now

The broken voice appears to be without fears
as it reaches for my childhood summer years

So you share a coin with a hope to conjoin
he nods his head and I go straight ahead

Singing
Don’t leave me now
Ne me quitte pas
Don’t leave me now
Ne me quitte pas

The Troubadour (Don't leave me now)

LYRICS:

I tried to swim across the baltic sea
insisting its salt could carry me
the pole star was my guide and you were the tide

Above there were cranes flying south, speaking in tongues
when something in the water got into my lungs
Darling, I feel it’s getting harder to breathe

I won’t moan
we’re only skin and bone
longing for someone
to drink from our well
oh, buttercup
I’m all messed up
but please don’t stop
lying til’ I know, all is well

I dreamt we went to old Algiers
had some kids and bought seven silver souvenirs
Then I was awoken by the drowned Phoenician sailor

At the bottom God was laughing, writing my obituary
Saying, ”all I’m missing is some of that old time vocabulary”
To get the perfect punchline before throwing me to the swine

I won’t moan
we’re only skin and bone
longing for someone
to drink from our well
oh, buttercup
I’m all messed up
but please don’t stop
lying til’ I know, all is well

All is well, all is well, all is well

Through the periscope I saw you putting on a gramophone
Singing, ”the universe is a monster, but it has left us alone”
I never reached the coast, but maybe I reached you

I won’t moan
we’re only skin and bone
who fear to be alone
when the lights go out
oh, buttercup
They’re closing up
but please don’t stop
lying til’ I know, that all

All is well

All Is Well
