I came to watch you while you sleep / Naked with a hand around your wrist / I came to watch you while you dream / But I was never here, I do not exist / Was I there in what you dreamed that night? / A premonition of a holy rite, an omen / Burning drops on your shoulder / I do not exist / I never felt so frightened / You’d open up your eyes and / See me for just what I am / So I won’t let it show tonight / My love has no pride / Keep me by your side / Like a concubine / Imagine when you close your eyes / Tell me what it is you see inside / When you leave me, leave me hungry for a kiss / Like I do not exist / I never felt so frightened / You’d look on the horizon / See me for just what I am / So I won’t let it show tonight / My love has no pride / Keep me by your side / Like a concubine / For those of us set by / For those of who hide / For those of us denied / History will make us wives / My love has no pride / Keep me by your side / Like a concubine.

Here in the dark, I’m never alone / Know you’re gone and you’re not coming back / I sleep on your sheets, your eau de cologne / Know you’re gone, etc. / These are the things I need to keep you in my life / Now I know that you’re gone and you’re not coming back to me / Après la mort, la visage d’amour... / What we had, had was true / I built a love shrine to you / And though you’re gone, I still go on / Lay me on a love shrine just for you / Here in the dark, I’m never alone / Know you’re gone, etc. / Thinking of you with the night coming on / Know you’re gone, etc. / These are the things I need to keep you in my life / Now I know that you’re gone and you’re not coming back to me / Après la mort, la visage d’amour... / What we had, had was true / I built a love shrine to you / And though you’re gone, I still go on / Lay me on this love shrine just for you / A love shrine, a love shrine just for you / And it’s not easy being left behind without you / And for all the love that I’ve enshrined, I don’t know what to do / A love shrine, a love shrine just for you.

And I had a dream about love and loss / And it was you I was dreaming of, of course / And when I woke up in my room alone / I felt like I didn’t know you at all / If you’ve got other trophies / Better show them to me now ‘fore I fall / ‘Cos I’ve been too long in this affair / To be another head on the wall / And in your arms I feel safe and warm / But is your heart only playing along? / At night I wake up in my room alone / Feeling like I don’t know who you are / If you’ve got other trophies / Better show them to me now ‘fore I fall / ‘Cos I’ve been too long in this affair / To be another head on the wall / If you’ve got other lovers / Make them known to me now ‘fore I fall / But if you want to have a real affair / Then open up and show me it all / Won’t you listen to me? / ‘Cos what I’m trying to tell you / Is that I want to be the one / You tell your secret to / Oh you, won’t you listen to me? / If you’ve got other trophies / Better show them to me now ‘fore I fall / ‘Cos I’ve been too long in this affair / To be another head on the wall / If you’ve got other lovers / Make them known to me now ‘fore I fall / But if you want to have a real affair / Then open up and show me it all.

It’s cold outside tonight / Snow on neon signs / Reminds me how you reflect the light / And even when I lie / Your kindness I deny / I just can’t look you in the eye / Does our love still have life enough to die? / Fated to break your heart / I’m fated to make you sorry that you ever loved me / Fated, and if I told you that I was wrong / It wouldn’t change our story / In years to come I might think on better times / Remember how you’d reflect the light / And I’ll keep you inside / No-one would dare defile / It can be cruel out there at night / But our love’s still got life enough to die / Fated to break your heart / I’m fated to make you sorry that you ever loved me / Fated, and if I told you that I was wrong / It wouldn’t change our story / If I told you how I want you / If I told you I still need your love / Would you hold me like you used to / One more time? / Fated to break your heart / I’m fated to make you sorry that you ever loved me / Fated, and if I told you that I was wrong / It wouldn’t change our story.

I want to tell you a story about romance, and all the ways it can go wrong, even when it feels so right / Laissez-moi vous raconter une histoire sur le romantisme et touts les façons que ça peut pourrir / Même quand on se sent si bien / Sarah said with good intention / You’ve got a new obsession / Guess it’s not polite to mention / But I can’t take the pressure / You’re breaking my heart / Bethany’s a natural beauty / I can see what you see in her / You could always just be cruel to be kind / And tell me, I don’t mind / You’re breaking my heart / Je te préviens / All these lies, all these lies / And now you’ve got my foolish heart falling apart / From all of your lies / Caroline can’t keep a secret / And now they all can see it / Melanie won’t look me in the eye / Do you taste the tear-drops that I cry / So you can tell us apart? / But I guess I knew from when I met you / You were just the type to fall for / Baby, come on now, tell me you like / Breaking a heart / Ce genre d’histoire se passe tous les jours / All these lies / All these lies / And now you’ve got my foolish heart falling apart / From all of your lies / All these lies / (Why don’t you tell me truth?) / All these lies / (That I’m a fool for you) / And now you’ve got my foolish heart falling apart / From all of your lies.

Hello sir, may I touch your pony? / Will he bite me? / Will he hold me? / Hello sir, I heard you’re lonely / Does your mansion by the shore / Just not thrill you like before we met? / I don’t know why I thought I could come back / (I don’t know why, but I never would have told you) / When there’s nothing left of what we used to have / (I don’t know why, but you never get older) / Kalikrates, invert the ocean over me / Kalikrates, turn the meadow to the sea / Hello sir, don’t you know me? / And how you taught me how to cry / When you said the rabbit has a dark eye? / Now I know you’ve got another side / I don’t know why you try to hide it / They can never love quite like I / Recall me on your wedding night / I don’t know why I thought you’d understand / (I don’t know why, but I never would have told you) / When there’s nothing left of what we used to have / (I don’t know why, but you never get older) / Kalikrates, invert the ocean over me / Kalikrates, turn the meadow to the sea / I don’t know why I thought you’d wait for me / In here every human hurt is just debris / Kalikrates, invert the ocean over me / Kalikrates, turn the meadow to the sea / I don’t know why I thought you’d wait for me at all.

Like someone to hold on to / May not mean anything / Just to hold on to / For a night, for my sin / To hold on tight / What the winter brings / Burn on big light, eluding me / Burn on big light, so we can’t see / Burn on big light, what the winter brings / Like something to believe in / May not mean anything / Just to hold on to / For a night, for my sin / To hold on tight / What the winter brings / Like something to believe in / May not mean anything / Just something to stand up for / I stand up for / Burn on big light, eluding me / Burn on big light, so we can’t see / Burn on big light, what the winter brings / Like someone to hold on to / May not mean anything.

When I knew it was over / When I knew I was alone again / You were talking in your sleep / You said the name of another man / Even though no deceit can save us / We were never apart / Put the apple ‘tween my teeth / For the arrow of a sleeping heart / Peut-il être seulement moi et toi / Peut-il être seulement toi et moi / When the moon hangs up above / I like to watch you rest below / From the axle of your arm / To the rising of your breast / But I know that no deceit can save us / Put a wine glass to the wall / You know I know you know / That I don’t know you anymore / Peut-il être seulement moi et toi / Peut-il être seulement toi et moi / When I knew it was over / When I knew I was alone again / You were talking in your sleep / You said the name of another man / Even though no deceit can save us / We were never apart / Put the apple ‘tween my teeth / For the arrow of a sleeping heart.

Listen well, it’s time you know the fate you’ve chosen / In this world, no tender heart will go unbroken / Who can tell when it comes? / You leave the door half open / Before you know, you’ve cried enough to fill the ocean / Ooh, it’s not for us to know / Ooh, which way the wind will blow / Like a fawn in a beam of light, standing frozen / Like a child in a dream from which he can’t be woken / Who can know the breath of love / That sets your lungs in motion? / Open up your golden throat / And sing a song of pure devotion / Ooh, it’s not for us to know / Ooh, which way the wind will blow / Without a branch to cling to / We step into a void / Naked as we’re born / Underneath it all, that’s where we belong.

Have you ever felt a bluebird on your palm? / Held her frail life in your hands? / How could I have ever known how lost you were / When I wished for you, my falling star? / You’re the reason I don’t cry out when I burn / You’re the reason for the ice at the top of the world / Have you ever held the world in a cherry stone? / When the ground’s this cold, nothing grows / So how could I have ever know how lost you were? / But I miss you so, Lucifer / You’re the reason I don’t cry out when I burn / You’re the reason for the ice at the top of the world / I feel the cold in the marrow of my bones / Receive me now, my lone, my Lucifer / How could I ever know how lost you were? / How could I ever know how far you fell to earth? / You’re the reason I don’t cry out when I burn / You’re the reason for the ice at the top of the world / Now I feel the cold in the marrow of my bones / Receive me now, my lone, my Lucifer.

If you love me, let me be a ghost / I’ll go down where trees are tall / And still be there when darkness falls / How can my heart yearn for the cool of the night? / That holds me hypnotised / If you know me by my teeth alone / I’ll be where the night-birds call / Like I was never here at all / How can my heart yearn for the cool of the night? / That holds me hypnotised / That holds me / Holds me.

I will soothe you with a song / And guide you as you travel on / Weary, weary man / Gonna sometimes need a helping hand / Much as I’d like to say / I could get along without you anyway / It ain’t my pride, only my defences / Got me trying so hard / To pound you out of my senses / But I couldn’t do without you now / Couldn’t do without you now / With your sweet hair blowing free / Silently you came to me / Saying ‘Someday we’re gon’ be free / All the burdens of this lifetime / Buried ‘neath the sea’ / But I don’t want to dream no more / Hold me like you’ve never done before / And I won’t need any explanation / Or time spent in contemplation / I couldn’t do without you now / Couldn’t do without you now / Do you know where our demons hide? / In a flow of swallows circling the sky / Like a shell beneath the sand / How they hunger for a wisp of land / And as I take you to my breast / In our bed we take our rest / The winds blow high / Blow my love to me now / And as I hold you close / Bring joy to me now / And I couldn’t do without you now / Couldn’t do without you now.
