Time Settles - Lyrics 

And the decision made a hole, a vacancy in a vital inner chamber in my bones
This is what finally separated me from all my friends for whom I became skeletal

Time settles over me
Time settles over me

And then the places I visit became the same inside world that I thought I was in
And like a fly scribbling the air I know neither the place nor what the hour is

Time settles over me
Time settles over me

And I, far off inside, was old

And now the years are closing in, each minute the last minute and following me

I’d like to write a song for you
I could even try to write a happy one
If I force myself to
All about the good times that we shared
the laughter and the joy and the funny things we said
About all the things that just fell into place
About the birds and the bees and the blue skies and the tall trees
and flowers and the sunshine and the sound of mountain streams
I’d like to write a happy song for you

CHORUS:
If you’re looking
For somewhere to rest your head
Don’t keep fighting with yourself
Just talk about the weather instead
Because loving is easier
If we’d just make it breezier
So let’s keep it light and simple
And talk about the weather instead

I’d like to play a tune for you
I could even write a happy tune
If you want me to
You could hum it on your way to work
And whistle while you’re in the park
And play it on your old violin
A sweet happy tune that you could sing, sing, sing
to your children as they’re dreaming of the next new thing
I’d like to write a happy tune for you

CHORUS

I’d like to dedicate this song to you
I tried to make happier than I usually do
I thought you’d like me to
There’s always something new to say
the weather changes day by day
Sunshine or an arctic freeze
Or the floods or the droughts or the rising seas 
or the gutters that are blocked up with the fallen leaves

I’d like to dedicate this song to you
I tried to make it happier than I usually do
The way you want me to

CHORUS + REFRAIN

Keep it light and simple

En mars me passent des heures en masse,
La casse se tasse, je trace la face voilée. 
Tu m'as manqué et ça m'obsède
-Baisers obcènes-
Quelques ratés inachevés prennent tous leur sens
Sans interdit
Je te fais grâce des politesses, 
La case départ t'es parti.  
Pour une fois laisse-moi te dire une chose
"tu vois moi j'suis pas l'ombre de tes pas ! "

Et puis je lis ces quelques mots plein de sagesse au dos de cette photo :

"Si le soleil se lève demain, il y aura un peu du tien"

En août, 
Je doute, 
J'écoute 
En boucle,
Ce qui 
Me coûte 
Toute ma 
Raison, 
Cette 
chanson. 

Je connais bien toutes tes humeurs, je les connais même par coeur. Dans mes cauchemars des cons se marrent mais j'ai fini brisée
Autant
En y pensant 
Les yeux en sang
Je dis en outre, 

Va te faire 

"Si le soleil se lève demain, il y aura un peu du tien"

It always comes to an end
