Leslie Stevens Sylvie Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sylvie
It is like we are ready to leave
Your mirrors and your paintings
Lean against the wall like mine
Sylvie, tonight your voice is ringing in my ears
And I have not written here
But it echoes like a shell
And I hear the men in the street yell

[Chorus]
Sylvie
All is faded and weakening
And they're just feelings
To be laughed away, like mine

[Verse 2]
Sylvie
I see myself grow older
I see my counterfeit loves
And all that's still to bee in you
And Sylvie
You said the wise sculpt light
So wanting to be wise, I took some in my hand
And I molded an indestructible man

[Chorus]
Sylvie
All is faded and weakening
And they're just feelings
To be laughed away, like mine

[Bridge]
And tonight, I am walking through the years
I can see you in your mirrors and you are laughing

[Outro]
And now, I am here overlooking the ocean
I am lying on the bed, watching the sunset
I am standing on the cliff, I am floating in the water
All the flowers of the field, hold the universe revealed
And the moon over the hill
Sylvie
