some loving named desire

might get out of here and find me a calm place.
sit in a Parisian café and forget my troubles & pains.
forget her pretty, her magnificent face ;
but I believe she conquered my brains.

Yes, something takes me higher,
there’s some feeling, some passion,
some loving named Desire.

looking up at the Eiffel Tower, the covered sky…
on the ground lay remnants of a fanciful night.
there seems to be a glimmer of hope, a light corner in the sky…
something to tell me there’s some reason lying in time.

Time that kills, and time that binds, it might just tear apart some lives.
and as it passes, it flows so slowly by. All we can do is try & try & try …

Yes, something takes us higher,
there’s some feeling, some passion,
some loving named Desire.

there’ll be others, by and by…
you forget and you remember, forget to remember
that’s how it works, the human mind !

but when you’re so stuck in it, that even values couldn’t help.
when you feel so lonely you can’t even wish on a better day.
that’s when you realize that this time you should not bend,
recognize your love would never mend.

I’d take a ride by train, I’d take a ride by the subway,
just for to find, for to find my sweetheart back again.
‘cause our love grows, it grows on even more _
every minute we’re apart just helps us to reinforce our love.

I’d drive all the way long _
I’d be there whenever you want.
Just want to hold you a little longer in my arms,

I just want to be held a little longer in your arms.
You know you’re right here in my heart,

and even if it hurts, these hurts
do nothing but breed desires.
and the passion that’s lying between us
takes us a little further and higher…

Yes, we’re getting higher,
there’s some feeling, some passion,
some loving named Desire.

Yes, we’re getting higher,
there’s some feeling, some passion,
some loving named Desire.

Day after day our love’s just growing better
as if we were to find some distant answer.
but, hey, this answer we already know !
ought to live and love and never ever let it go.

when you live and love it’s quite hard to face the truth of the real world ;
you’ve got to share your words and trust your love to someone else’s care,
it’ll be much easier to face reality while we share & do care for our share,
but do mainly share some feelings, some passions, some loving named Desire…
