Smoky afternoon light

Got the sun stuck in my eye

It's shouting from the river

Then it leaps back in the sky



Prenons la mer

Sur les vagues solaires --

Toi et moi parmi les esprits de la lumiere*



*TRANSLATION:

"Let us take to the sea

On waves of sunlight

You and I among the spirits of light"



This morning in the past

Y'know I felt like broken glass

Now I'm feeling all right

Knife-sharp as a winter night



Prenons la mer

Sur les vagues solaires --

Toi et moi parmi les esprits de la lumiere



J'ai reve que les abeilles

Etaient des gouttes de sang du soleil

Et au ciel des bombardiers

Pechaient pour nos ames irisees**



**TRANSLATION:

"I dreamt that the bees

Were drops of blood from the sun

And the bombers in the sky

Were trawling for our iridescent souls"



Prenons la mer

Sur les vagues solaires --

Toi et moi parmi les esprits de la lumiere
