the simple things we said
© 1990 gabriel yacoub

it's when the night is long and I can find no rest
it's when the night is long and I can find no rest
when desire comes to me, and you are not near

it's when I pass my days trying to forget those nights
it's when I pass my days trying to forget those nights
when I call for you - and you cannot hear

and then I think about the simple things we said
the things we promised never to forget
the simple things we said
never to forget

and so I walk the length of this solitude
and so I walk the length of this solitude
or lose myself in our empty room

and the seasons lost between the heart and sea
and the seasons lost between the heart and sea
a longing that rises and crests in me

it's when the night is long and I can find no rest
it's when night is long and I can find no rest
but blessed, you sleep on in your dream

alors je me souviens des choses les plus simples
les choses qu'on a dit ne jamais oublier
les choses les plus simples
jamais oublier
