Stand by me

Made a meal and threw it up on sunday
I've got a lot of things to learn
Said I would and I'll be leaving one day
Before my heart starts to burn

So what's the matter with you
Sing me something new
Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away

Times are hard when things have got no meaning
I've found a key upon the floor
Maybe you and I will not believe in
The things we find behind the door

So what's the matter with you
Sing me something new
Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away

Stand by me
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
Nobody knows
Yeah nobody knows the way it's gonna be

If your leaving will you take me with you
I'm tired of talking on my phone
There is one thing I can never give you
My heart will never be your home

So what's the matter with you
Sing me something new
Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away

Stand by me
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
Nobody knows
Yeah nobody knows the way it's gonna be

The way it's gonna be, yeah
Maybe I can see, yeah
But don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away

Stand by me
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
Nobody knows
Yeah God only knows the way it's gonna be

Mes jeunes années

Mes jeunes années
Courent dans la montagne,
Courent dans les sentiers
Pleins d'oiseaux et de fleurs
Et les Pyrénées
Chantent au vent d'Espagne,
Chantent la mélodie
Qui berça mon coeur,
Chantent les souvenirs,
Chantent ma tendre enfance,
Chantent tous les beaux jours
A jamais finis
Et, comme les bergers
Des montagnes de France,
Chantent le ciel léger
De mon beau pays.

Parfois, loin des ruisseaux,
Loin des sources vagabondes,
Loin des fraîches chansons d'eau,
Loin des cascades qui grondent,
Je songe, et c'est là ma chanson,
Au temps béni des premières saisons.

Mes jeunes années
Courent dans la montagne,
Courent dans les sentiers
Pleins d'oiseaux et de fleurs
Et les Pyrénées
Chantent au vent d'Espagne,
Chantent la mélodie
Qui berça mon coeur,
Chantent les souvenirs,
Chantent ma tendre enfance,
Chantent tous les beaux jours
A jamais finis
Et, comme les bergers
Des montagnes de France,
Chantent le ciel léger
De mon beau pays.

This train don't stop there anymore

You may not believe it
But I don't believe in miracles anymore
And when I think about it
I don't believe I ever did for sure
All the things I've said in songs
All the purple prose you bought from me
Reality's just black and white
The sentimental things I'd write
Never meant that much to me

I used to be the main express
All steam and whistles heading west
Picking up my pain from door to door
Riding on the storyline
Furnace burning overtime
But this train don't stop,
This train don't stop,
This train don't stop there anymore

You don't need to hear it
But I'm dried up and sick to death of love
If you need to know it
I never really understood that stuff
All the stars and bleeding hearts
All the tears that welled up in my eyes
Never meant a thing to me
Read 'em as they say and weep
I've never felt enough to cry

When I said that I don't care
It really means my engine's breaking down
The chisel chips my heart again
The granite cracks beneath my skin
I crumble into pieces on the ground
