Текст песни Bowie, David - Remembering Marie A.

Quite an easy going song from a poem of Bertolt Brecht and, because it was popular, that 
was used for his play "Baal". The english version is the one sung by David Bowie in the 
BBC Baal Revival in 1982.

Lavachevolante.

NB: you can add an optional  on the light  string on the second  chord of each first line.

It was a day in that blue month september
Silent beneath the plum trees' slender shade
I held her there
My love, so pale and silent
As if she were a dream that must not fade
Above us in the summer shinning heaven
There was a cloud my eyes dwelled long upon
It was quite white and very high above us
Then I looked up
And found that it had gone

And since that day, so many moons in silence
Have swum across the sky and gone below
The plum trees surely have been chopped for firewood
And if you ask, how does that love seem now
I must admit, I really can't remember
Though I know what you are trying to say
But what that face was like, I know no longer
I only know I kissed it on that day

As for the kiss, I long ago forgot it
But for the cloud that floated in the sky
I know that still and shall forever know it
It was quite white and moved in very high
It may be that the plum trees still are blooming
That woman's seventh child may now be there
And yet that cloud had only bloomed for moments
When I looked up
It vanished on the air.
