Two Monkeys Lyrics - Singles - Nosound

When I was young I believed 

there were two monkeys here 

Living in the trees between my house and the sea 

Someone told me once that was their home 

But that their life was sad, because they were alone 

No matter how high they were climbing up the trees 

I observed them several times from my house here 

They were never at the same place 

for their eyes to meet 

As if they'd lost the will to speak and hear 

Their eyes always looking far toward the sea 

Their mouths closed in fear of what they could see 

Their wishes to meet disappearing with years 

Someone says they just lived in fear 

Someone told me my house is not there anymore 

And the trees are now season tourist shops 

I still think about the monkeys and their trees 

I tried since then not to look far toward the sea 

And so I missed my last change to look around 

And all I'm left with is the memory of the sound 

Of the sea and their voice in the mute summer sights 

Dreaming of going up high enough, 

maybe on a kite 

No matter how high they were climbing up the trees 

I observed them several times from my house here 

They were never at the same place 

for their eyes to meet 

And then they lost the will to speak and hear 

Their eyes always looking far toward the sea 

Their mouths closed in fear 

of what they couldn't see 

The memory of them disappearing with years 

Someone says they still meet every night at the pier
