Valotte
by Julian Lennon
Lyrics:
Sitting on the doorstep of the house I can't afford,
I can feel you there
Thinking of a reason, well, it's really not very hard
to love you even though you nearly lost my heart
How can I explain the meaning of our love?
It fits so tight, closer than a glove
Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wond'ring if we're really ever gonna get that far
Do you know there's something wrong?
'Cause I've felt it all along
I can see your face in the mirrors of my mind
Will you still be there?
We're really not so clever as we seem to think we are
We've always got our troubles so we solve them in the bar
As the days go by, we seem to drift apart
If I could only find a way to keep hold of your heart
Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wond'ring if we're really ever gonna get that far
Do you know there's something wrong?
'Cause I've felt it all along
Sitting in the valley as I watch the sun go down
I can see you there.
Thinking of a reason, well, it's really not very hard
to love you even though you nearly lost my heart
When will we know when the change is gonna come?
I've got a good feeling and it's coming from the sun
Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wond'ring if we're really ever gonna get that far
Do you know there's something wrong
We'll stick together 'cause we're strong
Why I Chose The Song
1985 was actually an extremely tough year for me to come up with a song for - because I had a few solid choices. I _really_ wanted to do a cover of Raspberry Beret - but I could not find a cover that was as good as what I had going around in my head.
Then I thought maybe I could find a "kickass" cover of "I Drove All Night" by Cyndi Lauper - and again came up short handed. *sigh*
So instead I went with a song by the oft forgot Julian Lennon .. I think his old man did something famous too. And I thought I could really own this and show of my mad piano skills in the process.
