As another evening invades the avenue
You just sit there by the window
Watching the shadows of your past dancing
Slowly in the odour of dusty cretonne
What’s home to you but shelter and food?
Life is moving out in the streets and you,
You just have to stand up and escape from
An existence made up by common-place sacrifices
Come on, wake up Eveline
Your time is running out
Leave all that dust behind
Run into his arms
For now you shall live!
(..stand up and leave!)
As the evening deepens in the avenue
You’re on the run towards the quay
Don’t listen to that organ-player
Don’t think about your father
He is waiting there for you
With his open-hearted smile
You’re his Bohemian Girl, you know
Perhaps he could even give you love
Why is your face pale and cold now
“As the oceans tumble ‘bout your heart”?
Your hands, they keep you paralyzed
As you pray to know the right direction
Come on, wake up Eveline
Your time is running out
Leave all that dust behind
Run into his arms
For now you shall live!
(…but you will never leave..)
