Every time you whisper...

Michael Franks - Every Time She Whispers

There isn't any part of me she does not know
We've been together 'bout a thousand years or so
Still almost instantly my love begins to show
Every time she whispers

It makes no difference if I'm upon my luck
When she invites me in my gloom becomes unstuck
I feel the barriers around me deconstruct
Every time she whispers

Tensions dissolve when we touch
In her arms the world is erased when it's too much
All of my deep blue disappears
As soon as I hear her whisper

Passion evolves when we touch
In her arms I measure success counting how much
Music she composes in sighs
And how many times she whispers my name
She whispers my name

Love is the weakness that we need to make us strong
How can a hundred million Frenchmen all be wrong?
And I'm completely at the mercy of her song
Every time she whispers

Tensions dissolve when we touch
In her arms the world is erased when it's too much
All of my deep blue disappears
As soon as I hear her whisper

Passion evolves when we touch
In her arms I measure success counting how much
Music she composes in sighs
And how many times she whispers my name
She whispers my name...

Inside, every time she whispers
High tides cannot be tamed
Of course, every time she whispers
Love force rages unchained...

That day, some Aprils ago...

Michael Franks - Eighteen Aprils

Me again, you again
Robin's egg blue again,
Eagerly notice the crocuses,
Suddenly, Spring arrives,
In the sky bluebird reconnaissance,
Phoebes dip straw in the mud-
Winter's done, hallelujah!
All the clouds ungather
And the sun shines through.

Swallowtail chrysalis
Hides in the hyacinth.
Happiness, I confess
Never flowed this endlessly
Unless you include solitude's end
On that day eighteen Aprils ago
When we met, I recall how
All the clouds ungathered
And the sun shined through.

I recall how
All the clouds ungathered
And the sun shined through

And the sun shined through...
