Share It with Me Songtext

von All About Eve

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
Share it with me, share it with me"

How many hearts are knocked down in the street?
How many poets are driven to drink and to
By her singular eyes piercing out
Through a flight-path of rarefied 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

"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
Share it with me, share it with me"

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
Share it with me, share it with me"

"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 give it me, please
Give me the ocean, give me the sea
Gather up everything I ever wanted and share it with me
Share it with me, share it with me"
