The sun rolls slowly down again
Le soleil roule à nouveau lentement
The dark it comes but I can't say when
L'obscurité arrive mais je ne peux pas dire quand
Sweetness sit down
Douceur, assieds-toi
I've got something to say
J'ai quelque chose à dire
I fucked up again in a terrible way
J'ai encore merdé d'une manière terrible
I'm a long way from home
Je suis loin de chez moi
I've done wrong I'm afraid
J'ai mal agi, j'ai peur
But I need you to remember the pact that we made
Mais j'ai besoin que tu te souviennes du pacte que nous avons fait
Tell me dear lover things can't be that bad
Dis-moi, chère amante, ça ne peut pas être si mauvais
This won't be the first time that you make me sad
Ce ne sera pas la première fois que tu me rends triste
But if you have done what I think it may be
Your words will be worthless and you will be free
The sun rolls slowly down again
The dark it comes but I can't say when
Love twisted me up with its passion and claws
Now it haunts me to madness with the ghost of remorse
She was evil harlot who threatened our cause
And now she lies here on the bathroom floor
Oh lord please have mercy! Oh what did you do
You did this to hurt me tell me it's not true
I know that you fucked her and that's what it's worth
I know that you slept with her and that's the worth of it
Was she better than me? Your heart must be cursed
The sun rolls slowly down again
The dark it comes but I can't say when
The darkness falls but I can't say when
I'm lonely I'm lost and I'm wild at sea
Won't you please let me in, I can barely breathe
I'm broken I'm lonely I'm lost as can be
But darling darling it has to be
I was lonely and foolish she was nothing to me
Like a moth to a candle I was too drunk to see
My sweetness my sweetness I was just a boy
And now I'm a killer my life is destroyed
Oh come to me baby she was nothing to us
She's no longer around it was just your drunk lust
Whatever you did there's a pact that we made
From the day we first kissed till we lie in our graves
The sun rolls slowly down again
The dark is coming but I can't say when
The sun rolls slowly down again
The dark is coming but I can't say when
Ah...
Ah...
