about

THE OLDEST PART (Lyrics : Florent Simon)

Sitting by the side of the bed
waiting for the sun to appear
a warm reflected beam on the back of my head
I'm like a child suddenly ageing

For the first time, in a new way
I know my lover's lost for good
For the first light of a new day
is like stitches to a lethal wound

You are the oldest part of my heart

Plenty of time to muse on the things that you said
There's no way up the current, no way that would see me through
The things that show the most at the end of the day
Are all the things you don't do, all the things you never do

Down the corridors of our youth
I funnel back like a frightened snake
If only I could be just a bit like you
You always give more than you take

You are the oldest part of my heart

I know it's somewhere out there

You are the oldest part of my heart
The only part alive
