Marianne Faithfull Album

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly
I'm not half the one I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why he had to go,
I don't know, he wouldn't say.
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play,

Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why he had to go,
I don't know, he wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
Yesterday

Today I saw the roses die,
The ones that we picked out.
And I turned around to cry,
I could not help myself.

I know where the roses go
Who do what they should do,
And baby, you won't go where the roses go
If you can't be true.

Today I saw the roses die,
The ones that we picked out.
As I stood there I could see
I could not help them now.

I know where the roses go
Who do what they should do,
And baby, you won't go where the roses go
If you can't be true.

Don't you want to walk where the flowers play

Beneath the sky of gold,
Where the little white doves fly by the hour
Singing our love will never grow cold?

Oh, today I saw the roses die,
The ones that we picked out.
And I hoped that you could tell
What it was all about.

I know where the roses go
Who do what they should do,
And baby, you won't go where the roses go
If you can't be true.

You won't go there
If you can't be true.
You can't go there
If you can't be true.
You won't go there
If you can't be true...

Our love has gone
And there's nothing we can do.
It has happened, leave it so.

People may say
It is wrong me leaving you,
Maybe wrong but I must go.

I can't change,
Rhyme this song,
Our love has gone.

Please turn away
So you'll hide your tears from me.
I can't stand to see you cry.

It's just no good,
This love wasn't meant to be.
It must end while there's still time.

Don't ask me
What turned wrong,
Our love has gone.

Who's to say whose fault it is,
Why there's no flame when we kiss
And the music we once heard.

Our love has gone
And there's nothing there at all.
I can't help the way I feel.

And when I'm away,
Out of habit I will call.
Don't you see it's so unreal.

And I don't know
What turned wrong.
Our love has gone

It seems the songs we're singing
Are all about tomorrow,
Tunes of promises that we can't keep.
Every moment bringing
A love I can only borrow,
You're telling me lies in your sleep.

Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying?
Don't go on betraying.

Don't make promises that you can't keep.

We had a chance to find it,
Our time was now or never,
You promised me things that I need.

And then the things behind it
Took away the chance forever,
You're telling me lies in your sleep.

Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying?
Don't go on betraying.

Don't make promises that you can't keep.
Don't make promises that you can't keep.
Don't make promises that you can't keep.
Don't make promises that you can't keep...

Standing by the everyman, digging the rigging on my sail
Rain to the sound of harpsichords, to the spell of fairy tale.
The heath was hung in magic mist, enchanted dripping glades,
I'll taste a taste until my mind drifts from this scene and fades
In the night time.

Crystals sparkles in the grass, I polish them with thought.
On my lash there in my eye a star of light is caught.
Fortunes told in grains of sand, here I am is all I know.

Candy stuck in children's hair, everywhere I go
In the night time.

Crystals sparkles in the grass, I polish them with thought.
On my lash there in my eye a star of light is caught.
Fortunes told in grains of sand, here I am is all I know
Candy stuck in children's hair, everywhere I go
In the night time.

In the night time.
In the night time.
In the night time...

There's a little bird that somebody sends
Down to the earth to live on the wind.
Born on the wind and he sleeps on the wind
This little bird that somebody sends.

He's light and fragile and feathered sky blue,
So thin and graceful the sun shines through.
This little bird who lives on the wind,

This little bird that somebody sends.

He flies so high up in the sky
Out of reach of human eye.
And the only time that he touches the ground
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird dies

Non, je ne pourraI jamais vivre sans toi,
Je ne pourraI pas, ne pars pas, j'en mourrai!
Un instant sans toI et je n'existe pas,
Mais mon amour, ne me quitte pas.

Mon amour, je t'attendraI toute ma vie,
Reste pres de moi, reviens, je t'en supplie!
J'aI besoin de toi, je veux vivre pour toi,
Oh, mon amour, ne me quitte pas.

Ils se sont separes sur le quaI d'une gare.
Ils se sont eloignes dans un dernier regard.

Oh, je t'aime! Ne me quitte pas.

Non, je ne pourraI jamais vivre sans toi,
Je ne pourraI pas, ne pars pas, j'en mourrai!
Un instant sans toI et je n'existe pas,
Oh, mon amour, ne me quitte pas.

Mon amour, je t'attendraI toute ma vie,
Reste pres de moi, reviens, je t'en supplie!
J'aI besoin de toi, je veux vivre pour toi,
Oh, mon amour, ne me quitte pas

Now is the glimmering spinning beginning
Of something I've prayed for and counted the minutes
To be in the shadows of sheltering meadows
Of night, here with you in my arms.

This is the moment that pauses to hold us
As you and I move in a background of wonder,
Surrounded by countless enclosures
Of nocturnal unspoken music of joy.

Counting times you have stood at the foot of my ivory tower
And waited, and called out my name by the hour,
And counted on the wings of my heartstrings
To carry the sound, I have counted on pleading,
You see how I need you, come down.

And now between twilight and midnight I come to you,
Down in my gown of soft moonbeams and starlight,
Bright is the evening, the breezes have fenced us
And nestled against us??

You're here??
And warm.

And mine till the time
When the dawn will awake you,
The morning will shake you,
The highway will take you.

But now all the rays of the moon making bouquets
Will swim through the luster of lingering street lights
We count on the night to hold everything even,
And count on forgetting that you will be leaving,
And destiny's folded and then in the dawn you'll be gone.

But now as the gardens of softening night time
Are blossoming slowly around where we are,
You and I come together
And walk through the dreams of the stars.

So here while the song of the deepening evening
Is singing to me from the light in your eyes,
We can count on each other to move to the beach of tomorrow
And know where we've been

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried.
Still I look to find a reason to believe.

Someone like you makes it hard to live
Without somebody else.
Someone like you makes it easy to give,
Never thinking of myself.

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried.

Still I look to find a reason to believe.

Someone like you makes it hard to live
Without somebody else.
Someone like you makes it easy to give,
Never thinking of myself.

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried.
Still I look to find reason to believe

Des coquillages
De longs voyages
Rapportés par mon bien-aimé
Rapportés par mon bien-aimé
Rapportés par mon bien-aimé

Par mon bien-aimé
Par mon bien-aimé
Par mon bien
Par mon bien
Par mon bien-aimé

Je me promènerai
Le long de vallées
Aux côtés de mon bien-aimé
Aux côtés de mon bien-aimé
Aux côtés de mon bien-aimé

De mon bien-aimé
De mon bien-aimé
De mon bien
De mon bien
De mon bien-aimé


Puis quand je reviendrai
Je vous dirai
Celui qui va me marier
Celui qui va me marier
Celui qui va me marier

Va me marier
Va me marier
Marier
Marier
Va me marier

Quand le temps passe
L'amour vous lasse
Je n'aurai plus de bien-aimé
Je n'aurai plus de bien-aimé
Je n'aurai plus de bien-aimé

Plus de bien-aimé
Plus de bien-aimé
Plus de bien
Bien-aimé
Plus de bien-aimé

I'll take a walk all by myself
So I can think of nothing else
But loving you when we find time.
These are the things I'll do with you in mind.

I'll pick a rose and feel the thorn
Every day that you are gone
A new memory to live I'll find.
These are the things I'll do with you in mind.

There'll come a day when I can live
To go and bring you back to me.
We'll dance and sing and toast someone.
There are the things I'll do with you in mind.
There are the things I'll do with you in mind

It's saturday night, it feels like a sunday in some ways.
If I had any sense I'd maybe go away for a few days.
Be that as it may, I can only say I am lonely,
I am but a young girl, working my way through the phonies.

Coffee on, milk gone, a sad light by fading,
Myself I touch, but not too much, I hear it's degrading.

The flowers on my stockings are wilting away in the midnight.
The book I am reading is one man's opinion of moonlight.
My skin is so white, I'd like maybe to go to bed soon,
Closing my eyes, if I'm to rise up before noon.

High heels, car wheels, the losers are grooving.

My dream, strange seem images are moving.

My friends, they are making a pop star or two every evening.
I know that scene backwards, they can't see the patterns they're weaving.
My friends they are models but I soon got over that one.
I sit in my one room, a little brought-down in london.

Coffee on, milk gone, a sad light by fading,
Myself I touch, but not too much, I hear it's degrading.

La la la la la, la la la la la la la la la.
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la la.
La la la la, la la la la la...

I've been looking for a good guy
For a long, long time.
Been looking for a good guy,
One to ease my mind
As well as my time.

I've been singing in the evening,
Flying through the night.
But I hurt my good guy,
I hope he makes out right,
Flying through the night.

I've been picking up the sunshine,
Been drinking down the rain.
I've been picking up the sunshine,
It makes me wonder when
I'll see him again.

You know time could bring a change, man,
It ain't for me to say.
You'll soon be out of range, man,
This could only be the way
It's meant to be.

Fairy castle stark and black in the moonlight,
The jingle jangle jester rides his stallion.

Seagulls fly across my mind forever.
Sadly goes the wind on its way to hades.
Would i, should i, could I be a stranger?
I shall walk right by and sigh good-bye.

I've been looking for a good guy
For a long, long time
Been looking for a good guy,
One to blow my mind
As well as my time.

I've been looking, you know I've been looking,
You better believe I've been looking.
I've been picking up the sunshine,
I've been drinking down the rain.
I've been thinking of the sunshine,
I've been looking for a good guy,
One to ease my mind
As well as my time.

Blow my mind
As well as my time,
Blow my mind...

I have a love and it's all that I have
Right or wrong, what else can I do?
I love him, I'm his,
And every thing he is
I am, too.

I have a love and he's all that I need,
Right or wrong, and he needs me, too.
I love him, we're one.
There's nothing to be done.
Not a thing I can do

But hold him,
Hold him forever.
Be with him now
Tomorrow and all of my life.

When love comes so strong
There is no right or wrong.
Your love is your own

What can I say?
He's a-walking away
From what we've seen.

What can I do
Still loving you?
It's all a dream.

How can we hang on to a dream,
How can it really be the way it seems?

What can I do?
He's a-saying we're through
Without a word.

What can I try?
I still don't see why
He says what he does.

How can we hang on to a dream,

How can it really be the way it seems?

What can I say?
He's a-walking away
From what we've seen.

What can I do
Still loving you?
It's all a dream.

How can we hang on to a dream,
How can it really be the way it seems?

How can we hang on to a dream,
How can it really be the way it seems?

Rosy, won't you please come home,
Mama don't know where you've been.
Rosy won't you please come home,
Your room's clean and no one's in it.

Oh, my rosy, how I miss you,
You are all the world to me.
Take a look and see if you like it,
If you like it, please, come back.

Rosy, won't you please come home,
Since you joined the upper classes
You don't know us anymore,
Live and let your trouble pass.

Rosy, rosy, where are you, tell me,
If you don't want to come back.
I will sacrifice all I have
To have a happy home once more.

Rosy, won't you please come home,
Two long years have passed away.
Since you tried to change your life
Christmas wasn't quite the same.

Rosy, rosy, got any answers?
You are miles across the sea
And I'll bake a cake if you tell me
You are on the first plane home.

Rosy, won't you please come home,
Mama don't know where you've been.
Rosy won't you please come home,
Your room's clean and no one's in it.

Oh, my rosy, how I miss you,
You are all the world to me.
Take a look and see if you like it,
If you like it, please, come home.

Rosy
