Johan‘s brother told me
I met Johan ‘s brother yesterday
In an old sailor ‘s tavern
He told me the life of his twenny years old brother
Who just looked seventy five.
He told me Johan lived in a univers
Full of schizophrenics phantasms
The last things he wrote were
Someone must know my story
And the last things he wrote were someone must know my story
someone must know my story
someone must know my story
After a few minutes off conversation
I understood from where he came
Here ‘s Johan ‘s story maybe yourse
Johan ‘s brother told me
1. Johan's brother told me
(M. Ysaye - A. Letecheur)
Cheerlesness
In a golden cloud
I’ve never seen in all my life someone like you and I love you
Would you try it again
why not do it again
I’ve never seen in all my life someone like you and I love you
A kind off unconscious melancholy came into me and I didn’t see the
Meaness off my old face since you leave me
I’m sure our life can born again
It ‘ s my only wish
Would you try it again
Why not do it again
I’ve never seen in all my life someone like you and I love you
Suddenly I feel so bad when I think you could change a day your mine
I know someone somewhere ‘s waiting for me and all my fits off madness
I’m above my golden cloud oh love I know everything must past
I don’t remember where did the wedding take place
2. Cheerlesness
(M. Ysaye - A. Letecheur)
3. Cry no more
(M. Ysaye - A. Letecheur - J. Roskam)
When Johan died sirens were singing
I knew I was ready, ready to die Nathaly was gone for always ever
I knew I was ready, ready to die I’ d never seen her back again
Oh someone tell me what ‘s happend to me, Gods, I hear sirens in my head
Oh girl, you’ll never know how much how much I love you love you love you so
I can hear beyond the grave
Johan’s voice calling Nathaly
I remember, all their happy days
I wonder why they couldn’t be together now
And I see up’on the sky
A little star shining differantly
Surely the star off Johan and Nathaly they must be together now
Could be an other end to the tragic Johan’s story ?
4. When Johan died, sirens were singing
(M. Ysaye - A. Letecheur)
5. I am
(J. Roskam)
Leave it where it can stay
In time there is no place for you
In space there is no time for me
So I scream I scream the pain oh take it away
Leave it where it can stay
In time there is no space for me
In space there is no place for you
So I scream the pain oh take it away
Like the wind you ‘ll fly away
Like the time you ‘ll fly away
So I scream I scream my pain oh take it away
Leave it where it can stay
6. Leave it where it can stay
(M. Ysaye - U. Faravel - A. Letecheur)
