lyrics

BONJOUR TRISTESSE

In your most peculiar way you walk the line
Till all your sorrow will be mine
On the tracks from your youth there’s only time
But inspite of all the loss you’re doing fine
Allthough you come falling from the stairs
On your back the sweet memories of affairs
From the days you wore ribbons in your hair
Smoked cigarettes to blow circles in the air
Right now you have the wisdom of a tree
Just to rock your children on your knee
You long for places that have never been seen
From where you’d never come running back to me

From the well, say what you need
Is it something that I could be
From the well, it’s clear what you need
But there is nothing there as far as I can see.

Poisoned words ring through the pines
You spit them out between the lines
Make them hurt like hell without a sound
Make it far too hard to be around
Make me feel like an everlasting tree
That travels rootless through the space round you and me
And only God knows how I've tried
How all my efforts slowly died
Crawling round with my ball and chain
Never to be released again
I’m only trying just to be
I’m simply trying to be me

CHORUS

about

Erny Green Utrecht, Netherlands

In '88 trekt Green als straatmuzikant de wereld in. Kille straathoeken wereldwijd, maar ook roemruchte podia als CBGB’s in New York, het zijn de ideale speelplekken voor de Nederlander in deze roerige jaren. In 1992 keert hij gemangeld terug en brengt zijn 1e soloalbum uit.
25 jaar en 9 albums later is het Green gelukt zich bij de absolute top van de Nederlandse liedjesschrijvers te vestigen.
