Verse 1

As the blackbird in the spring

'neath the willow tree

Sat and piped I heard him sing

Praising Aura Lee.

Chorus

Aura Lea! Aura Lea! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 2

Take my heart and take my ring

I give my all to thee

Take me for eternity

Dearest Aura Lee!

Chorus

Aura Lea! Aura Lea! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 3

In her blush the rose was born

'twas music when she spoke

In her eyes the light of morn

Sparkling seemed to break.

Chorus

Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 4

Aura Lee the bird may flee

The willow' golden hair

Then the wintry winds may be

Blowing ev'rywhere.

Chorus

Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 5

Yet if thy blue eyes I see

Gloom will soon depart

For to me sweet Aura Lee

Is sunshine to the heart.

Chorus

Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

In the rainy courtyard
In the wet wind of a summer night
A cat jumped onto the roof
Tea in a cup, hands in the wind

Since you left that day
Nothing is the same
Tonight seems longer than last night
Rain makes the flowers fall

Bricks are building life,
How many cracks so fragile are here
Bright eyes once filled with dreams
Cannot open when the morning comes

Since you left that day
Nothing is the same
Tonight seems longer than last night
Rain makes the flowers fall

Bricks are building life,
How many cracks so fragile are here
Bright eyes once filled with dreams
Cannot open when the morning comes

Well don't get any splinters on the floor

When you go down in the hole

Why don't you join people on the lawn

You work full time

Like a mole

You’re not a friend of mine, but I’m not afraid of dying
I just want to live alive,
I wanna give it a try and face the ghosts that trouble my night
I’m gonna play my dime, even if chances are tight

It’s better to go now, before chances are gone
Dans les bras du hasard, j’ai glissé mon destin, ma douleur
J’ai laissé mon chagrin,
J’ai caressé l’espoir en douceur, j’ai oublié mes peurs

Quand s’approche l’hiver, if faut rentrer son bois
C’est le moment de le faire, avant que ne s’abatte le froid
I know it sounds insane, but I’m not the one to blame
When hope is fighting pain in a kind of silly game
With such a beast to tame and a referee so lame
So I need to place my bet, I need to force the fate
Before I’m getting old, before it’s getting cold
Before chances are gone

Je veux redéployer mes ailes et tutoyer les arcs en ciel
When the chance comes and says your name, you’ll sense it’s the moment to decide
Je veux remarcher sur les braises, faire le saut de l’ange du haut des falaises

Don’t wait, just go for it, you know it is time to set the time
Puisque je n’ai plus rien à perdre, entre combat et prière
Now you feel it must be done, just get a ticket to the unknown
Aujourd’hui je choisis le glaive, pour qu’un nouveau jour se lève
And feel reborn, and feel reborn
J’ai trop donné, je veux qu’on me donne, before chances are gone
