Gainsbourg Serge - Chatterton lyrics

(ian hunter)

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, ooooo

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, ooooo

Sweet woman what’s your name?

You smell as fresh as the rain

Instead of leaving you came

Let me feel your hair

A light shines in your eyes

The hungry years are so nice

Shadows shake in the lamplight

No writer could explain

But when the daylight comes

But when the daylight comes

But when the daylight comes

I’ll be on my way

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, ooooo

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, ooooo

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, ooooo, yeah!

Please share my bed and I swear

That I won’t touch you nowhere

Just need your warmth and your care

Don’t wanna mess around

And when the daylight comes

Yeah when the daylight comes

Oh when the daylight comes

I’ll be on my way

Yeah when the daylight comes

Yeah when the daylight comes

Yeah when the daylight comes

I’ll be on my way

But there’s a song in the air

And it knows that you’re there

’cause it’s making me share

You with my life

I know I know I know that

I want to weave you in words

Want to paint you in verse

Want to leave you in someone else’s dreams

It seems the only way, hey!

I can thank you, thank you baby

Some people say that we’re sinners

Some people say that we’re winners

We make good gossip at dinners

They try to pin us down

But when the daylight comes

Yeah when the daylight comes

Oh when the daylight comes

I’ll be on my way

Yeah when the daylight comes

Yeah when the daylight comes

Oh when the daylight comes

We’ll be on my way

(repeat and fade)
