lost words...

raiul e locul in care cei morti traiesc in amintirea celor vii si fericiti

you got to know
i'm always in the way
upside down to you
open to all
these tangled knots of living
finally caught me too
don't leave me alone
standing here for ever
hoping you how ever
i'm a little girl
boiled into a mature
little piece of work
so if you see me
just smile
so if you see me
just try
on and on

Comptine d'un autre été

That summer we knew

Well, I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall

We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling around
And snow in your hair

Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there

Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
'Cause I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes, I once loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid
