One Word

(альбом: Wrong Way Up - 1990)

Night-time is falling on the Louvre
It's been a lazy afternoon
We walk to the house, the air is clear
The water's still moving in the pool

You say one word
The same one sound
Thing it makes
Again, the world go 'round
One word, you'll see
We fight, you can't win
We're in the same place
A game, but not the same spin
Let it all if it fades away
Fade away, I don't mind

We were miles away, we were miles away
We were miles and miles away

Remember this oil by Augustus John?
These are the ones I found in Rome
There are few things I keep for long
When does your plane leave for cologne?

I recall one word
The train I saw
People danced that's all it took
Again, to turn them around
One world strange world
We're in, no sound
We'll find the same things
The same thing
Are everywhere around
Never mind... you'll see
With time, with time
We'll dance again, we'll dance again
If it all fades away
Let it all fade dancing away

All the sounds I heard one word
On a summer night, I found
And the quiet words that's all it took
We exchanged, I felt to turn him around
She was pulling back she watched
To emphasize he sighs
I was falling he waits for
Into Mona Lisa's eyes
A touch of her eyes
And she turned, and then
And she turned, she turns away
She was far away
She won't let him
She was miles away
Touch her any more today
She was miles away
She was so many miles away
