The Fly
I wish I wrote you a song
On this beautiful melody
I wish I could belong
In this great poet family
I would have said ‘love’
I would have said ‘always’
And all we dreamed of
In such better ways
I would have said ‘away’
I would have said ‘burn’,
Let’s burn our days away
Before it’s us they burn
But the time to take a pen
And lay it on the paper
It was already the time when
You didn’t love me any longer.
Translation of Jacques Brel's 'Chanson sans paroles'.
