'so carefree
mon petit chéri
now cloudy days
have long gone by
in our world
only blue sky
ask me why we smile
ask me why we forge ahead
oblivious to
life's sweetbread
down beneath
the whirling waters
cries the tears
of many years
innocence lost
at a very high cost
no one ever cares
all those blank stares
why do they see
their troubles in me'
