Jacques Brel - Alone (Seul) lyrics

We find love, you and I It's a new game to play Then we tell our first lie And see our love go away And we find, we're alone We rush on, you and I We don't need love at all We need thrills, we need speed Then we stumble and fall And we find, we're alone We're loyal, you and I To flowers that are dead We forget how to cry We save photos instead And we find, we're alone We hear guns, you and I We ask what is that Then we open the Times We're informed where it's at And we find, we're alone We're moral, you and I We stand for what's right We slaughter all evil By dawn's early light And we find, we're alone We're lucky, you and I We're alive and secure But in the bank and the church We can never feel sure And we find, we're alone We've made it, you and I We have glory and fame Yet we never know why We feel so ashamed And we find, we're alone We have power, you and I But what good is that now We would build a new world If we only knew how And we find, we're alone We are old, you and I We beg warmth from the sun In the dreams that we dream We ask what have we done And we find, we're alone
