Be Not Always - Lyrics
Always, be not always
And if always
Bow our heads in shame
Always, please be not always
And if always
Bow our heads in blame
’Cause time has made promises
Just promises
Faces, did toi see their faces
Did they touch you
Have toi felt such pain
To have nothing
To dream something
Then lose hoping
Is not life but lame
But time has made promises
Just promises
Mothers cry, bébés die
Helplessly in arms
While rockets fly
And research lies
In progress to become
But what of men
Of flesh and blood
We turn our backs on life
How can we claim to stand for peace
When the races are in strife
Destroying life
Always, be not always
But if always
Bow our heads in shame
Always, please, please be not always
’Cause if always
Bow our heads in blame
’Cause time, time has made promises
Death promises
Always, be not always
And if always
Bow our heads in shame
Always, please be not always
And if always
Bow our heads in blame
’Cause time has made promises
Just promises
Faces, did toi see their faces
Did they touch you
Have toi felt such pain
To have nothing
To dream something
Then lose hoping
Is not life but lame
But time has made promises
Just promises
Mothers cry, bébés die
Helplessly in arms
While rockets fly
And research lies
In progress to become
But what of men
Of flesh and blood
We turn our backs on life
How can we claim to stand for peace
When the races are in strife
Destroying life
Always, be not always
But if always
Bow our heads in shame
Always, please, please be not always
’Cause if always
Bow our heads in blame
’Cause time, time has made promises
Death promises
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh ou cry
I don't know whether to live ou die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that l’amour won't wait
Now I've learned that l’amour needs expression
But I learned too late
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my l’amour for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh ou cry
I don't know whether to live ou die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that l’amour won't wait
Now I've learned that l’amour needs expression
But I learned too late
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my l’amour for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
Looking out
Across the nighttime
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice
Shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs
Get me out
Into the nighttime
Four walls won't hold me
tonight
If this town
Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite
If they say
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
If they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
Reaching out
To touch a stranger
Electric eyes are ev'rywhere
See that girl
She knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare
If they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
If they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
I like lovin' this way
I like lovin' this way
(Instrumental section)
Looking out
Across the morning
Where the city's cœur, coeur begins
to beat
Reaching out
I touch her shoulder
I'm dreaming of the street
Repeat Chorus (Ad-lib/fade-out)
