Paroles de Sea, The Blue

You say that the sea is blue Though you've never seen the blue sea Answer: It lies between joy and sorrow Man commits one sin after another for desire Woman commits a sin for the man Some would suffer from their sin Others would cease to be human in negating the sin But you ceased to be human In suffering from the intolerable pain In the scent of perfume You let me smile And I told you the sea is blue Which I have never seen In our grieving for each other Sweet scent penetrates our bodies Illusory blue sea may be more like us No more good reason to stay together You must be expecting The real blue sea to be seen Before either of us sinks down Before the weakness breaks us down We'd better get out of the room Remaining a faint scent of sweet perfume
