lyrics

I sometimes wonder in the morning
Why the birds are singing in the rain
While everybody’s running for the train
They can’t be late
Got no time to waste

I sometimes wonder in the evening
Why the sun is sinking in the west
While everybody’s dressed up in their sunday best
Oh yes
Got someone to impress

I sometimes dream when I am sleeping
I dream my lover gives me some advice
Go easy on yourself he says cos all your life
You will walk and maybe you’ll arrive
You will walk and maybe you’ll arrive

I sometimes wonder when you’re leaving
I wonder if I’ll see you again
And what you gonna bring to say you’re sorry
I’ll pretend
I thought it wouldn’t end

I sometimes ask me do i know you?
And why you’ve said so much that I regret
And if the words that spin around my head
were songs instead
Would I be a such a mess

I had this dream when I was sleeping
A million souls were dancing and they cried
Go easy on yourself they said ‘cos all your life
You will walk and maybe you’ll arrive
You will walk and maybe
You'll arrive

Being an actress as well, she imagines music as theater - "via colors and visual frames, you speak on notes and tones to tell a story". ... more
