Lyrics

Etienne

My friend Etienne
You've benn calling out her name again
You've been restless in your sleep again
Your dreams are now not yours alone to keep
Etienne
I could swear this is her master plan
Taking pity on my broken man
Your tears are now not yours alone to weep

And all this time I've known it
But never could believe
In phantom shadows passing through my sleep
Etienne
I can't pretend
She's not stealing you away
But all the same
I don't wanna know
If she takes away your pain
If she makes you live again
If she's all the happines you've never known

You could never try to understand
It's like I'm waking in some foreign land
stranded there with no means of return

And all my world stopped turning
The very moment that I knew
For all my love you could never turn to me
Etienne
I can't pretend
She's not stealing you away
But all the same
I don't wanna know
If she's in every thing you see
And every thing you see
And all the things that I could never be

My friend Etienne
You've been calling out her name again
I've been crying in the pouring rain
My tears are now all mine alone to weep
Etienne
