This song had been written by a man who was forced to leave France to go to America for years.
Once upon a time
You and me
Don't you ever forget it
You and me
Since I've been far from you
I feel like far from myself
And I think about you.
You're eight hours away from me,
I'm years away from you,
That's what it's like, being over there
The difference
Is this silence
That is sometimes deep inside me.
You always live near the water
Sometimes in the newspaper
I see you on the pictures
And me, far away from you
I live in a music box
Electric and fantastic
I live in Chimerica (~fanciful America)
The difference
Is this silence
That is sometimes deep inside me.
You're not always the most beautiful
And I keep cheating on you
But who can tell the future
Of our memories ?
Yes, I'm sometimes homesick,
Even if I don't talk about it.
Love is made of this.
Once upon a time
You and me
Don't you ever forget it
You and me
Since I've been far from you
I feel like far from myself
And, over there, I think about you.
Yes, I'm sometimes homesick,
Even if I don't talk about it.
Love is made of this.
