Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang
Sail to me
Sail to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was forced out
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks
For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow
Oh my heart, Oh my heart shies from the sorrow"
Well I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as riddled as the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or should I lie with death, my bride?
Hear me sing, "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you"

Verse One:
I’m staying away from false love
From losing my soul in the shove
I’d rather rest forever in your wings
It’s colder than a witch's tit
And not the ones we love, you’d better know it
I’d rather stay forever in your wings
Chorus:
Nightfall is a death, windfall is a breath
Am I dreamin’ you said “everything lives on?”
I can hide under a sheet and pretend i know where to find sleep
Don’t go, you said you wouldn't
Verse Two:
When i miss you, it brings you back, it's like you're there
My mind will blanket you
on your shift
I can't find my joy in hope, it is not real
Your apples and pears come tumbling down
Chorus:
Nightfall is a death, windfall is a breath
Am I dreamin’ you said “everything lives on?”
I’ll just hide under a sheet and pretend i know where to find sleep
Don’t go, you said you wouldn't
Chorus to fade

Вечером, когда весь дом уснул,
Из окошка вылетел манул
Кверху задом, книзу головой,
Испуская возмущённый вой
Давай, погладь кота!
Погладь манула, сцуко!
Давай погладь кота, если не жалко руку
Ему лететь недолго,
Мешает чувство долга
Давай, погладь кота, пока летит!
Он летел с восьмого этажа,
По спирали медленно кружа,
Разевая розовую пасть
Выбирая на кого упасть
Давай, погладь кота!
Погладь манула, сцуко!
Давай погладь кота, если не жалко руку
Ему лететь недолго,
Мешает чувство долга
Давай, погладь кота, пока летит!
Развевался полосатый хвост,
закрывая свет луны и звёзд
и горели жёлтых два огня
целясь в… ой, только не в меня!!!
Давай, погладь кота!
Погладь манула, сцуко!
Давай погладь кота, если не жалко руку
Ему лететь недолго,
Мешает чувство долга
Давай, погладь кота, пока летит!
За окошком ветер завывал
Врач меня полночи зашивал
Но зато когда придёт рассвет
Из окошка полетит сосед
Давай, погладь кота!
Погладь манула, сцуко!
Как смог ты на него поднять, зараза руку?!
Тебе лететь недолго,
До скорой и до морга
Давай, погладь кота, пока летишь!

Sur les océans sans navires
J’ai fait mon mieux pour sourire
Et t’as chanté
navigue-vers moi
navigue-vers moi
Laisse-moi t'envelopper
Me voici, me voici
Tu sais que je t’attends
J’ai rêvé que tu rêvais de moi
Sur les océans sans navires
Je suis ici, Je suis ici
En attendant...

So I'm the cold one
You’re looking at an empty vase
You must think I’m cracking
One minute you’re here
And the next I’m shattering
Writing songs bitching about each other
Bon, je suis celle qui reste froide
Alors que toi, tu regardes
Un vase vide
Never yielding to love
Never yielding to love
You’re looking at an empty vase
You might say I’m cracking
Nous craquons et bouleversons
Blindage, blindage
Ne cede jamais a l’amour
So I'm the cold one
You’re looking at an empty vase
You must think / You might say I’m cracking
One minute you’re here
And the next I’m shattering
Well, maybe I love this isolation!
