Lyrics All About Eve

All About Eve

Share It With Me

Madeleine hears the bohemians say

She's selfish and crazy

Which isn't so far from the truth

She's the essence of youth

The flower you place on eternity's grave

The romantic who isn't afraid

Of the beat of her heart

She raises a glass to your art

And when she gets drunk she says...

Oh, give me the autumn, give me the trees

Gather up everything I ever wanted

And give it me, please

Give me the ocean, give me the sea

Gather up everything I ever wanted

And share it with me

How many hearts are knocked down in the street?

How many poets are driven

To drink and to verse

By her singular eyes piercing out through a flight-path of

Rarified air

Where all the shiny black birds of the west

Make a rest in her hair?

She raises a glass to your love

And when she gets drunk she says...

And you ask where she comes from

And she tells you: "the earth"

Like the place that you come from

Is a whole different world

She says "life is a banquet

So why hang around

Catching crumbs from a table ?

Come share it with me"
