lyrics

i was born on a saturday
early in the morning
my mother had seen better days
before she had borne me

i was one child too many
she didn't need any

and with my face placed to the window
on the car ride home
i saw the whole world wide before my eyes
pass by me and go

it was sometime in december
but i can't remember

and i will always know
the claire de lune
of life through cold windows
on winter afternoons

and all this time,
i've tried not to keep to myself
but loneliness is the only nice
feeling i've ever felt

and i still remember
saturdays in december
when i chased the geese
from the lake to the breast

from the west to the east
they flew over the trees

and old friends have flown
like words with wings
but the bumble bee died
with just one last sting

i held my foot and i cried
and i ran back outside

and i will always know
l'apres-midi d'un faune
with the moon in the snow
and winters spent alone

and all this time,
i've tried not to keep to myself
but loneliness was the only nice
feeling i've ever felt

i hear the sound of my name
in the red light that bends and flows
when winter rain
rolls down bus windows

it wasn't fair
but mom and dad weren't there

now west wind blow on this saturday morning
and don't ever let tomorrow know
that it never stops storming

i'm one child too many,
no one needs any

and it's sometime in december
but i won't remember
