Across the
German border to
Alsace -Lorraine
Bought two tickets for
Marseilles on the
Strasbourg train
When the sun rose we were flying
on a wind of lavender
Drinking red wine in the morning
along the cold desert
Then you asked a question,
touched a chord in me
Could there ever be a bluer blue,
bluer than the sea?
I had to think it over,
if that could really be
think I gave an answer then for you,
for you, but not for me
Well, we set up house right off
the square close to our cafe
Made love every morning,
watch the ships roll on the bay
Precious tiny mountain,
my feet were in the flames
By the little market place,
the strolls after the rain
I was beckoned to the wall with
every feeling that I lacked
A romance gotten out of hand,
I was falling through the cracks
We saw some driftwood floating in the blue
I saw a broken seashell and a pearl
The pearl
I'm that all -night train to
Stockholm, you got me acting like a kid
Your mouth spun out rebel words,
my soul was on a thread
The kisses made me seasick when you
freshed your lips to mine
Cars are blank and old man's land
where the heroes storm in blind
You pinched your head down on my lap
whenever I would have screamed
Was it love or was it crazy whenever
women crossed the sea?
Danger loves to make your plans,
cause danger never sleeps
That night you hummed
the chorus lines of that song
Song of you and me
When near became too many times
another word for far
Separation played a major role,
but the trail was the start
Outside the
Central
Station, outside in the rain
You pressed your lips against
the glass one last time again
I stumbled to the streets alone,
looking for my drunken boat
Lord, it took me hostage
without a ransom note
I sailed back to my shipwrecked home
to cut the anchor free
Watchin' from the churnin' waves,
you're blowin' kisses
On the sea to me
Remember that night and the autumn
light on the southern shore of
Creech
Cats chasin' their own shadows,
we walked along the beach
We smoked and watched a girl swim,
all naked in the sea
Had a screamin' argument,
more smokin' jealousy
Two can live together, still feel all alone
We both knew you had someone else
waitin' there back home
When you start playin' game to two,
the puzzle never ends
A chess game and an extra pawn, yeah
Me and you, or you and him
Let me tell you of a story, love,
on a winter's night alone
At the
New
York
City
Opera,
Madame
Butterfly was shown
I sat up in the same row
where we had sat before
I dreamed that we'd seen
La
Boheme, but you said turn the door
Now, a broken arrow falling
from your smoking bow
Was it love or was it crazy?
Every leading man must know
As the curtain fell and the music died,
I was the last to leave
The crowd had seen a tragedy, but
I, I saw you in me
I'm in
Old
Nut
Tree,
Switzerland, it was almost
Christmas
Eve
Face reflected in the wind,
looking burning on my sleeve
I felt you in the tunnel,
but my arms weren't long enough
You were naked on the kitchen floor
the day the blue eyes stopped
Every word we tried to speak,
ice froze in our throats
Was it love or was it crazy,
I didn't wanna know
When I finally dried my eyes,
I didn't wash dirty sheets
I saw you bend down and dry your hair,
but that, but that's you and me
You and me
That was you and me
You
