Lyrics

A Modern Tale

Two lovers on a splintery bench,
The leaves around them are a bed
They're drowning in each others eyes,
Their looks tend to go adrift

A boat without a captain,
a ship without a helm
No need for any words,
the sighs will do the work

I feel you , I see me, in a trance
Things must be, bitterly natural

I wake up immediately
Salty pearls rolling down my cheeks
I don't remember you spontaneously
But I still feel your fingers in my hair
Tracks carved in my heart
The glimpse of your face disappears

On the run, on the road, to your sun
On the run, on the road , to your sun

Your hand on my shoulder in the sand
The last trace of our modern tale
I guess we've been split up by time
Unrelenting cancer between us

In a night we were freed from our plight
In a night we were freed from our plight
But I can't let sorrow win the case
I've got so much left to give to forsake

It was somewhere in July
I don't remember the exact day
The day I met the sweet touch of your hand
And the tattoo of your lips
I shouldn't lean on the past
I hope you will not

On the run, on the road, to my sun
On the run, on the road, to my sun
But I can't let sorrow win the case
I've got so much left to give to forsake

On the run, on the road, to your sun
On the run, on the road, to your sun
