lyrics
Gabrielle 2009
(JP Mercier/JP Mercier)
The wind is her hair
She holds the land in her arms
Oh God, I know when she's there
Because the sun is her heart
And I can read on her lips
All the prayers you learned
And all the secrets she keeps
But in her eyes we'll burn
How I wish that I could feel
I wish that I could tell
But sometimes it makes me want to scream
I call you Gabrielle
When she falls asleep in the arms of an angel
Sometimes it's hard to tell
Is it bad or is it good and if I should?
Please, tell me Gabrielle
Oh, when she walks in her sleep
With her hands in her hair
And refuses to breath
Dreaming she was an angel
Knowing angels are dead
But then she followed the plans
That the ancients have drawn
So she'd be part of the clan
So she'd be just a...
Oh, nothing but a word in a song
My heart is dying rapidly
But still beats to slow for me
Although you sing it endlessly
Your song's still to short for me
Gabrielle, is it heaven or hell?
Say something Gabrielle.
(JP Mercier/JP Mercier)
