I love you so !

I love you so !

Sylvie got a letter ! ygurl1

As usual!

Think he'll come back ?

Why should he ?

Because he loves her

Then why leave her behind just for a job ?

There she is!

What's he say ?

He's struck it rich ?

I'm afraid to read it

I'm scared

What for ?

Sylvie dearest.

My darling

Shut Up

ghat's he say ?j

Dear Sylvie.

I told you so

Everything is bigger here the sky, the rivers, the forests

In the street, 11 you can see are Cadillacs and Mustangs

Oil runs like rivers, here

from the A lantic to the Ifacific, and up to the Great Lakes

Labrador and its gold mines of tons of asbestos,

rivers of molten steel and paper pulp

Everything is possible here

Everything's bigger, stronger, and better

But when the sun goes down

the streets are empty, and I'm all alone...

the streets are empty and I'm all alone

trying to avoid crossing that door once again

the door of my hotel room

Cause the elevator swallows me up

taking me up to the 20th floor

And as I slip the key

into the golden lock

of my lonely hotel room,

1 feel a pans >n myheart

N thing else matters

Nothing else �� no one but you

Labrador and its gold mines,

the Pacific and the Atlantic,

oceans, rivers, contients,

cities, forests, crowds

Nothing else matters...

nothing else exists.

Except me

Nothing else but fcou,

my arms reaching out for you

my heart, my bod*too

crying out to you

Nothing else but you

your hands, your skin, your thighs

our arms, your neck, your eyes

my heart opens outfto you

It is the night

Nothing e)s� matters

Nothing else matter*

Nothing else -� no one but you

brador and its gold mines.

the Pacific ana the Atlantic

oceans, rivers, continents,

cities, forests, crowdsii

Nothing else matters

Nothing else exists

Nothing else but you Only you, lost in my arms,

your trembling lips, your smile

as I move gently in you gently, and then so hard

Go out the other door

You never know!

The next day

My heart is pounding so

All night long,

torn up he kept my eyes open wide

torn up inside, he kept my eyes open wide.

My husband lying there,

deep asleep without a care

His body next to mine,

no suspicion in his mind

And when the dawn had chased the night,

in the pale morning light.

He tiptoed lightly from the bed,

n the carpet, deep and red

on the carpet, deep and red

In a whisper soft as the sea,

I asked him breathlessly

Hold me in your arms so dear,

don't ever go, don't leave me here

Tie me to the bed so tight,

please come to me every night.

I beg of you, don't let me go!

But I spoke too low

The door slammed so tight,

he was already out of sight

And now, alone I sigh,

thinking only of Eli.

My heart beats restlessly,

I want him to make love to me

My heart beats restlessly,

I want him to make love to me

Morning, Mrs. Schwartz

What's come over me ?

Another one!

The Virgin Mary's full of grace,

rymg so hard not to lose face!

et yourself go

The Devil's waiting, ith his passion snare.

Hard liquor on his breath, the smell of death

Blind rage, and nights without a breath.

He dares to cry in our embrace

Without the dark to hide his face
