All About Eve

All About Eve - SHARE IT WITH ME lyrics

Madeleine hears the bohemians say

She's selfish and crazy

Which isn't so far from the truth,

She's the essence of youth,

The flower you place on eternity's grave.

The romantic who isn't afraid

Of the beat of her heart,

She raises a glass to your art

And when she gets drunk she says...

Oh, give me the autumn, give me the trees,

Gather up everything I ever wanted

And give it me, please

Give me the ocean, give me the sea

Gather up everything I ever wanted

And share it with me

How many hearts are knocked down in the street ?

How many poets are driven

To drink and to verse,

By her singular eyes piercing out through a flight-path of

Rarified air

Where all the shiny black birds of the west

Make a rest in her hair ?

She raises a glass to your love

And when she gets drunk she says...

And you ask where she comes from

and she tells you: "the earth,"

Like the place that you come from

Is a whole different world

She says "life is a banquet,

So why hang around

Catching crumbs from a table ?

Come share it with me."
