TOO MANY HONKY TONKS VERSE I know she didn’t mean to hurt me She tried so hard to make it right I guess I lost out to the whisky But I wonder where my baby is tonight
CHORUS ‘Cause when her tears start fallin’ Her goodtime friends come callin’ And they won’t keep her feet
On solid ground From lonely street to misery Uptown on down There’re just too many honky tonks around

At closing time.

I DON'T MATTER ANYWAY VERSE There’s a rumor goin’ round this little town Say you’re gonna throw my love away Well tell me where do you get off I’m the one having second thoughts And I don’t think we can last another day
CHORUS So We can talk about it We can sleep on it But I ain’t gonna meet you face to face Cause I’m beginnin’ to see

Si un jour tu m’emmènes
A la plage J’aimerais tant plonger Dans les vagues Je te promets que je resterais Sage Mais tu ne comprends pas Que je rêve de ça
Quand l’été est là Je sens le soleil sur ma peau Tu marches avec moi Mais tu pars un peu trop tôt
Je veux y croire Mais tu me refuses ça Nous sur le sable Etendus et nus Amoureux Toujours
Si un jour tu m’emmènes
A la plage J’aimerais tant plonger Dans les vagues Je te promets que je resterais Sage Mais tu ne comprends pas Que je rêve de ça
Alors je sors seule la nuit Je cherche un ami Et puis quand
Sonne minuit Je suis folle de lui Nous courons dans les dunes Eclairés par la lune
Si un jour tu m’emmènes
A la plage J’aimerais tant plonger Dans les vagues Je te promets que je resterais Sage Mais tu ne comprends pas Que je rêve de ça English translation : THE BEACH If one day you take me to the beach I would like to dive into the waves I promise you that I will be careful But you don’t understand That’s what I’m dreaming of
When summer is here I feel the sun on my skin You walk with me
But you leave a little too early
I want to believe it
But you want let me Us on the sand,
stretched out and naked,
In Love,
Always
If one day you take me to the beach I would like to dive into the waves I promise you that I will be careful But you don’t understand That’s what I’m dreaming of
So I go out alone at night I'm looking for a friend And then when midnight sounds I'm crazy about him We run through the dunes Lit by the moon
If one day you take me to the beach I would like to dive into the waves I promise you that I will be careful But you don’t understand That’s what I’m dreaming of
A chaque fois que je t’attendsDans les rues sombres où file le vent A chaque fois, j’éprouve cette mélancolie A chaque fois que je surprends Dans tes carnets, nos regards fuyants Toutes ces fois où dansent nos évidences Sur la toile jaunie de nos souvenirs Un rire, une larme, les vagues de la mélancolie Sous le grand tilleul où s’amassent les feuilles J’attends… Peut-être qu’un jour… ? Tu seras de retour… (Parlé) Des volets bleus, une maison, Sur la jetée de Quiberon, Les jours heureux… Des nuées d’oiseaux migrateurs, Comme une résonnance de ton absence.
Peut-être un jour dans cette allée Reviendras-tu passer l’été ? Peut-être ici, demain, peut-être au mois de Mai ? Dans la lueur de tes nuits blanches Une caresse, une présence Comme une douce amère incertitude…
English translation :
PERHAPS ONE DAY Each time I wait for you In the dark streets where the wind blows Each time, I feel this melancholy Each time I catch In your notebooks, our fleeting looks All those times where our evidences dance On the yellowed canvas of our memories A laugh, a tear, waves of melancholy Under the big linden tree where leaves are piling up I'm waiting ... Perhaps one day ...? You will be back ...
(Spoken) Blue shutters, a house, On Quiberon quay, Happy Days… Flocks of migratory birds, Like a resonance of your absence.
Perhaps one day in this alleyway Will you come back for the summer? Perhaps here, tomorrow, Perhaps in the month of May? In the glow of your sleepless nights A caress, a presence Like a bitter sweet uncertainty ...

Life’s become so fragile now that I care But I guess that means that I’m Getting somewhere Remember the time Laying in your bedWhen you told me that you loved me And you stroked my head
And I stared out the open window I’d even told you That one night howWords don’t mean a thing But it’s alright Cause every time I open my mouth And I wanna tell you something But something else comes out
But do you know that I need you nowI’m trying to tell you but I don’t know how So much frustration in my Untidy roomThat you thoughtfully went andGot me a broom But inside my room Is a messy mind that isTangled and twisted And untied
You know that I’m not too organisedI’m trying to be but I don’t have the time The cement in my headWas making me sinkBut you pulled me up and it hurts a little less to think So life’s a little fragile But I guess it always isWhen you’ve got some sort of reasonThat makes you wanna live But will you share a bit of the weightI’ve carried it with me for 21 years straight
