Marianne Faithfull

Past the caf

I'll send away all my false pride
And i'll forsake all of my life.
Yes, i'll be as true, as true can be
If you'll come and stay with me.

Lovers of the past i'll leave behind,
There'll never be another on my mind.
I'll do all i can so you'll feel free
If you'll come and stay with me.

The promises i made most faithfully,
I'll keep still, should you decide to leave.
I'll try and see that you have all you need
If you'll come and stay with me.

We'll live a life no one has ever known,
But i know you're thinking that i'm hardly grown.
But oh, thank god, at last and finally
I can see you're gonna stay with me.

But oh, thank god, at last and finally
I can see you're gonna stay with me.

I'd like to dial your number again
But i don't remember it so well.
I'd like to see you again
'cause i don't remember when

I said i wouldn't see you again
Been so long i don't remember when.

I'd like to kiss you one more time
Because i feel it might be different now.
I'd like to love you one more time
Because the last respect was mine.

Although i didn't have the time
Been so long just thought one more time.

So i'd like to dial your number again,
Seems that i remember it so well.
I'd like to see you again
'cause i don't remember when

I said i wouldn't see you again
Been so long, can you tell me when ?

When you're alone
And life is making you lonely
You can always go
Down town.

When you've got worries
All the noise and the hurry
Seems to hurt, i know.
Down town.

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city,
Linger on the sidewalks where the neon signs are pretty.
How can you lose ?

The lights are much brighter there,
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

And go down town.
Things will be great when you're
Down town.
No finer place for sure,
Down town.
Everything's waiting for you.

Don't hang around
And let your problems surround you,
There are movie shows
Down town.

Maybe you know
Some little places to go
To where they never close,
Down town.

Just listen to the rhythm of the gentle bossa-nova,
You'll be dancing with them, too, before the night is over,
Happy again.

The lights are much brighter there,
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

And go down town.
Where all the lights are bright
Down town.
Waiting for you tonight
Down town.
You're gonna be all right now.

And you may find
Somebody kind
To help and understand you,
Someone who is just like you
And needs a gentle hand
To guide him along.

So maybe i'll see you there,
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares

And go down town.
Things will be great when you're
Down town.
Don't wait a minute more,
Down town.
Everything's waiting for you.

I see the morning sun
Coming over the hill,
Sorrow and pain for me
Coming over the hill.

I'm very sad
Lost love for me
But i will love again.

I know a man
Who breaks every heart that he can.
I know him well
For i have been hurt by this man.

I'm very sad,
Tears follow me,
But i will love again.

I'm very sad,
Tears follow me,
But i will love again.

I know a man
Who promises that he'll be true
And i look back once again,
Well, what else could i do ?

I'm very sad
But he is true
And we will love again.

I see the morning sun
Coming over the hill.
I see him and he says
That he'll stay
And he will.

I'm sad no more,
He comforts me
And we will love again.

At last it's over,
I knew i could not hold him,
His love for freedom
Was far too strong.

But though he's gone now
My life is just beginning,
I'll soon forget him,
I'll soon forget him,
I must forget him, lord!

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new day beginning.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new love that waits for me.

Will i remember,
Will i still hear him whisper ?
Will i still feel his
Lips on mine ?

In dreams i see him,
Perhaps he'll stay forever
And all i'm wishing
And all i'm hoping
And all my longing, too.

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new day beginning.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new love that waits for me.

He made me happy
And though i suffered, too,
There's no mistaking
Our love was true.

But such a sweet love
Just wasn't meant to be
And it's all over
Yes, it's all over,
And now it's done i'll start anew.

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new day beginning.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new love beginning.

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new day beginning.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new love beginning.

Sha-la-la ...

In my time of sorrow,
In my time of feeling bad
Oh what i'd give
Just to relive
All of the good times that i've had.

In my time of sorrow
In my time of feeling alone
There was a time
I could ease my mind
With thoughts of just being on my own.

Changes of life
I'm going through
Keep me from doing
What i know i should do.

In my time of sorrow
In my time where teardrops fall
I can't tell you why
I don't want to try,
But the time has come
For me to say fare well.

In my time of sorrow
In my time of sorrow
In my time of sorrow...

[version 1]
There is a house in new orleans,
They call it the risin' sun
And it's been the ruin
Of many poor girl,
And me, oh god, i'm one.

There is a house in new orleans,
They call it the risin' sun
And it's been the ruin
Of many poor girl,
And me, oh god, i'm one.

If i had listened
To what my mother said
I'd've been at home today.
But i was young and foolish, oh god,
Let a rambler lead me astray.

Go tell my baby sister
Don't do what i have done.
Go shun that house in new orleans
They call the risin' sun.

Well, i'm going back to new orleans,
My race is almost run.
I'm going back to spend my life
In the house of the risin' sun.

Every time i see you looking my way,
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat ?
In the park or walking down the high way,
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat ?

And when you move up closer to me
I get a feeling that's oo-wee.

Can't you hear the pounding of my heartbeat
'cause you're the one i love, you're the one i love.

When i feel you put your arms around me,
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat ?
Then i'm glad, i'm mighty glad you found me,
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat ?

And when you asked me to meet your ma
I knew that baby we'd be goin' far.

Can't you hear the pounding of my heartbeat
'cause you're the one i love, you're the one i love.

All my friends are crying out to meet you,
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat ?
Now's the time to go and see the preacher,
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat ?

Now wedding bells are going to chime
And baby, baby, you're gonna be mine.

Can't you hear the pounding of my heartbeat
'cause you're the one i love, you're the one i love.

Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat ?

Ah!
Ah ...
Oh ...
Oh ...

Just a little rain falling all around,
The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound.
Just a little rain, just a little rain,
What have they done to the rain ?

Just a little boy, standing in the rain,
A gentle rain that falls for years.
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears,
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain ?

Just a little breeze out of the sky,
The leaves nod their head as the breeze blows by.
Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye,
What have they done to the rain ?

Just a little boy, standing in the rain,
A gentle rain that falls for years.
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears,
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain ?
And what have they done to the rain ?
