Bleak Claudine

Under a hard rain, after a long dry fall
I met a girl, and she stopped the storm
She dressed a red coat, a blue ribbon in dark hair
Her small shoes mixed the water with the air
Without realizing it, I had lost my zest
When spring came, we were just like the rest

Sweet bleak Claudine, we dreamed the paradise
But dreams are just dreams
Dear bleak Claudine, we climbed mountains
When my pieces sailed upstream
Sadly, Claudine, that warm winter was just as cold as any other one

Oh, wet summertime, witness rough and chill
This morning I saw you walking through the same park
Those kids keep your gaze and take me back to those
Years of youth when the clock hardly moved, no
I vowed to stop the time from touching you
To my eyes, at least that part came true

Sweet bleak Claudine, we dreamed the paradise
But dreams are just dreams
Dear bleak Claudine, we climbed mountains
When my pieces sailed upstream
Sadly, Claudine, that warm winter was just as cold as any other one

And I felt you so close
As I walked away like I did so many years ago
I didn't want you to see
What time had done with us
And with all those years
That will never come back

Sweet bleak Claudine, we dreamed the paradise
But dreams are just dreams
Dear bleak Claudine, we climbed mountains
When my pieces sailed upstream

Sweet bleak Claudine, we dreamed the paradise
But dreams are just dreams
Dear bleak Claudine, we climbed mountains
When my pieces sailed upstream

Sweet bleak Claudine

Dear bleak Claudine

Sweet bleak Claudine
