Helene Songtext

There is a church bellThat rings on the hourFilling the streetsStopping the world awhileLoud is the laughterFrom in the schoolyardPrickling my earsTelling me time's passing byHélène, comfort me, Hélène, I am fallingThere is a nameI've replaced with my ownIt's taken me yearsNow it's dark and unknownThough I scoff at the thingsThat I said long agoI knew what I'd findC'est toi mon bouchon, mon bouchonHélène, comfort me, Hélène, I am fallingTry as you mayThis is not my real homeAnd I miss how the sunComes up late in the morningFor all that I wantThere is really not much you can doOutside the harborTthe wind-surfers rideWorking their sailsAs navy ships lag behindOff to a countryWith waves full of grainA boyhood of mineAnd a dream thatWill always remainHélène, comfort me, Hélène, I am falling© 1991 Edwin Ellis Music/Nurk Twins Music (BMI)All Rights Resevred.International Copyright Secured.
