Tristesse Lyrics - Singles - Church

Here in this desert, beneath the sun and stars 

Still troubled by the rumblings of a million distant cars 

Please be good to me tonight, let me find my way 

The air has some command in it I cannot disobey 

A gunfight in Dodge City, a murder in Bombay 

All these deeds and worldly needs I must shrug off today 

All my life spent searching for prowess 

Left me lying here with you, tristesse 

I was working in an orchard that grew the strangest fruit 

It wasn't Mother Nature that made those trees take root 

Your children cannot hear you, they only want your loot 

You hold on to their essence like a parachute 

They never believed you were in distress 

Now you've gone and left them with tristesse 

Oh, waters inflamed 

Ah, fires burning out 

Ah, ice melting down 

Ah, fires burnt out 

A hotel suite in a rich man's town, a hut in Botany Bay 

A prisoner by my own device, a mountain in my way 

I'm gonna have to alter my address 

"Cause I can't stay much longer with tristesse" 

And they call this carnival progress 

Invited by our queen tonight, tristesse
