Desperate Ones Lyrics by Nina Simone

Desperate Ones Lyrics

    Jacques brel, jouannest, eric blau, mort shuman

    They hold each others hands
    They walk without a sound
    Down forgotten streets
    Their shadows kiss the ground
    Their footsteps
    Sing a song
    Tat's ended before it's begun
    They walk without a sound
    The desperate ones

    Just like the tiptoe moth
    That dance before the flame
    They burn their hearts so much
    That death is just a name
    And if love calls again
    So foolishly they run, they run, they run
    They run, they run, they run, they run
    They run without a sound
    The desperate ones

    I know the road tey're on
    I've walked their crooked mile
    A hundred times or more
    I drank their cup of bile
    They watch their dreams go down
    Be hind the settin sun
    Yeh, yeh, yeh, they walk without a sound
    The desperate ones

    Le he who threw the stone at them
    Stand up and take a bow
    He knows the verb "to love"
    Beu he'll never, never, never know how
    On the bridge of nevermore
    They disappear one by one
    Disappear without a sound
    The desperate ones

    And underneath the bridge
    The water's sweet and deep
    This is their journey's end
    The land of endless sleep
    They cry to us for help
    We think it's all in fun,
    They cry, they cry, they cry, they cry
    Without a sound
    They disappear without a sound
    They walk without a sound without a sound
    Disappear without a sound
    Cry without a sound
    Yai, yaj, yaj, yaj, yaj, yaj, yaj
    The desperate ones
