Everybody - madeleine peyroux


Everybody?s talkin? at me
I can?t hear a word they?re sayin?
Only the echoes of my mind
People stop an' stare
I can?t see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I?m goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Backin' off with the north east wind
Sailin' on a summer breeze
And skippin' over the ocean like a stone
Everybody?s talkin' at me
I can?t hear a word they?re sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
People stop an' stare
I can?t see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I?m goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Backin' off with the north east wind
Sailin' on a summer breeze
And skippin' over the ocean like a stone
No, I won't let you leave my love behind
No, I won't let you leave my love behind

madeleine peyroux

Half the Perfect World
You gassed her up behind the wheel With your arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile Barrelin' down the boulevard Looking for the heart of Saturday night Got paid on Friday and your pockets are jinglin' And you see the lights, you get all tinglin' 'Cause you're cruisin' with a six Looking for the heart of Saturday night Comb your hair, pleads your face Try to wipe out every trace Of all t...
You got a lot of tenderness And so much love, you can get no rest If you?re willing To waste a little time I don?t want all of it All I need is a little bit You got a lot of money saved No use takin' it all to your grave Ain?t worth nothin' If you ain?t feelin? fine I don?t want all of it All I need is a little bit You know daddy gave you everything On a silver platter But the one thing he nev...
There's perfume burning in the air Bits of beauty everywhere Shrapnel flying, soldier hit the dirt She comes so close You feel her then She tells you No and No again Your lip is cut on the edge of her pleated skirt Blue Alert Visions of her drawing near Arise, abide, and disappear You try to slow it down It doesn't work It's just another night I guess All tangled up in nakedness You even touch...
California rain is fallin' I can hear the summer callin' Far away, far away A song that's fadin' Put me on a plane tomorrow I'll try to run from all my sorrow Far away, far away From endless waitin' It's so cold here without the sun I'm so sad here far away from everyone What a fool to be ambitious Moving here with all of my wishes Far away, far away From where my heart is Shut the phone off a...

Every night he'd come to me I'd cook for him, I'd pour his tea I was in my thirties then Had made some money, lived with men We'd lay us down to give and get Beneath the white mosquito net And since no counting had begun We lived a thousand years in one The candles burned The moon went down The polished hill The milky town Transparent, weightless, luminous Uncovering the two of us On that fund...
He made me laugh, he made me cry He smoked his doggies in bed But I'm all right, I'm all right I've been lonely before I asked the boy for a few kind words He gave me a novel instead But I'm all right, I'm all right And I've been lonely before It's fine, it's okay It was wrong either way I just wanted to say There isn't much fun when you're drinking wine He got drunk, he fell down He threw a f...
J'avoue j'en ai bav? pas vous mon amour Avant d'avoir eu vent de vous mon amour Ne vous d?plaise en dansant la Javanaise Nous nous aimions le temps d'une chanson ? votre avis qu'avons-nous vu de l'amour De vous ? moi vous m'avez eu mon amour Ne vous d?plaise en dansant la Javanaise Nous nous aimions le temps d'une chanson H?las avril en vain me voue ? l'amour J'avais envie de voir en vous cet ...
From bad luck, I'm walkin' away I'm not gettin' stuck, I'm not gonna stay To good things, I'm movin' ahead I'm tired of dyin' an' I'm livin' instead Once in a while I'll wake up Wonderin' why we gave up? But once in a while Comes and it fades away The sun's up and lightin' the sky I never could see it, it just passed me by Good things keep movin' along I'm not lookin' backward for something th...

Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though its breaking When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through for you Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying...
The summer wind came blowing in From across the sea And it lingered there, so warm and fair To walk with me All summer long we sang a song And strolled on golden sand Two sweethearts And the summer wind Like painted kites, those days and nights Went flyin' by The world was new beneath a blue Umbrella sky Then softer than a piper man One day it called to you And I lost you To the summer wind Th...
