That’s Life For Me (C’est La Vie)

I’m standing at the edge of window, as I watch the rain fall

I hear the wind blowing, in a very strange direction

Across in the alley way something is underway

A woman’s lost her mind

She says she left, but she’s been clearly left behind

I drop from the windowsill, and sit and watch with a chill

The woman, she’s clearly mad

She walks in a circle, as she draws in the air

And she softly replies, as if someone was there

I have to go, it’s time

So I’ll say good-bye

Ah c’est la vie, that’s life for me

No I can’t stay one more night

Time to take flight

So happily, just look and see

I sat there in horror, just watching her spin

As she carved though the air with a demented grin

Spinning and twirling her eyes were a light

With a fire that pierced through the darkness of night

Oh what can I do now to help this poor woman

She’s lost in a world of dreams and delusion

I let out a sigh, as I drew this conclusion

And left her alone, so she could live her illusion, yeah

I was walking along on the street

Minding my own business

But I had to give my attention to what I saw

A man and woman, they sat on the grass

Both drinking some wine from a single wine glass

But all of a sudden the man was struck with awe

He threw up his arms, and let go of the glass

It slowly shattered on the ground

He let out a scream, and then started to cry as if no one was around

And the woman said

I have to go, it’s time

So I’ll say good-bye

Ah c’est la vie, that’s life for me

No I can’t stay one more night

Time to take flight

So happily, just look and see

She stood to her feet and she started to sing

Then she said, “by the way” and she flipped him her ring

The man was left trembling, her ring in his hand

And I was left speechless, did not understand

The man he looked at me as he lifted his face

And he motioned me over, to sit in her place

This I deserve, he said, I didn’t reply

To say I was faithful, that would be a lie

I’ve been a schemer, now I’ve been undone

I hope it’s a lesson that I will learn from

And then I woke up I was lying in my bed

It was just another crazy dream, a story in my head

And now I have them all the time, it’s always something deep

The kind of crazy dreams that make you never wanna sleep

And then I heard some laughin’, that was coming from the street

So I went over to my window tryin’ my best to be discrete

And to my surprise, as I looked through the screen

It was the crazy woman from my dream, what does this mean

And the she sang

I have to go, it’s time

So I’ll say good-bye

Ah c’est la vie, that’s life for me

No I can’t stay one more night

Time to take flight

So happily, just look and see
