The Piano Song
The piano is all alone
I’m alone at the piano
The notes are lying side by side
You can’t take a piano with you
At the end of the night,
So ya keep holdin' on t’the notes of
black n’ red n’ white
Leave it there, drive away, don’t look back
Piano Woman, leave that (lonely) love alone
You know that love (love) always has
Some sadness in it.
Why do we believe in love at all?
Pianos always float
And they dance in the waves
Do’in a Dos-A-Dos
As the lonely oceans rise
& the people cry but true music never dies
Dans tous les naufrages les pianos flottent toujours.
Hey did you know
In Shipwrecks pianos float
pianos never drown
When the Great Ships go down
And do a dos-à-dos
They go wit the flow
Waves Caress the strings
as the wild ocean sings
And the sea swallows
All the tricks& the trouble
And all we can see
Are the churches white steeples
And the hands going up
Of all the lonely peoples --mais
Dans tous les naufrages les pianos flottent toujours
All joy fades
Except the joy of children
Mais quand deux pianos dansent
Joy flashes behind the mountains
Le pour toujours est passé tout droit.
Nous n’avons pas pu le sauver de nous-mêmes
CHORUS
I place a piano on the tongue of the world
As I watch the oceans rise
I place a piano on the tongue of the world
To give the world a voice to cry.
Deux pianos dansent dos-à-dos
Dans une salle de bal immense
Deux pianos dansent
dos-à-dos
là, où plus personne ne danse….
