Catch Me If You Can - Jane Birkin

Catch me if you can my love

I’m almost gone from view

On tiptoes I shut the door

On happiness to all I knew

On happiness to all I knew

Softly I have crossed the road

And I’ve left you

Standing just the way you were

The way that you used to be

Catch me if you can

I’m falling fast, be aware

Take care

Catch me if you can

She cried before she died

For you

She came flying down to your safe arms

Will you protect me

From the fear of growing old?

Will you help me, will you hold m

When the others go?

Childrn calling from forgotten hills

I’m on my way, home to you

I’m on my way, home to you

Home like Ulysses between his parents

Sees Penelope’s thread

Faithful recognized your thread

That’s what the children from the odyssey want

Home and peace at last, in our time… guts, guts

Will you protect me

From the fear of growing old?

Will you help me, will you hold me

When the others go?

How I loved you, my heart might break

From the pain of going now

My mistake, too late
