How Little We Need To Be Happy - David Sylvian

She fell

No jewels for the hurt

When she fell

Where is the mother?

Draw back the sheets

Shake off the sleep and complete me

As I complete you

There’s a universe of disappointment to be lost

How little we need to be happy

How little we need to be really happy

And you my girl

Did I forget to sing?

You, brimming with life and with joy

And curiousity

And the lights won’t go out

The stars refuse to dim

And everything goes on but not as before

«They removed his voice

And the silence overwhelmed him»

How little it takes

Some of us are undecided

We might come to you

To find a new way out of this one

She should pull us through

What have they done to you?

Come here let me hold you

Cry all your tears

The sorrows that threaten to overwhelm you

Let’s rise up again
