    She holds her child to her heart

    Makes her feel like she’s blessed from above

    Falls asleep underneath her sweet tears

    Her lullaby fades away with his tears

    Bridge

    Aicha Aicha, passing me by

    Aicha Aicha my my my

    Aicha Aicha smile for me now

    AIcha Aicha in my life

    She needs somebody to lean on, (lean on…)

    Somebody mind and soul (body, mind and soul…)

    To take her hand, to take her world,

    And show her the time of her life, so true

    Throw away the pain for good

    No more contemplating boo

     

    Lord knows the way she feels

    Everyday in his name she begins

    To have her shining right here by my side

    I’d sacrifice all the tears in my eyes

    Aicha Aicha ecoute moi

     

     

    Outro

    Your vows you’ve broken, like my heart,

    Oh, why did you so enrapture me?

    Now I remain in a world apart

    But my heart remains in captivity.

     

    I have been ready at your hand,

    To grant whatever you would crave,

    I have both wagered life and land,

    Your love and good-will for to have.

     

    If you intend thus to disdain,

    It does the more enrapture me,

    And even so, I still remain

    A lover in captivity.

     

    My men were clothed all in green,

    And they did ever wait on thee;

    All this was gallant to be seen,

    And yet thou wouldst not love me.

     

    Thou couldst desire no earthly thing,

    But still thou hadst it readily.

    Thy music still to play and sing;

    And yet thou wouldst not love me.

     

    Well, I will pray to God on high,

    That thou my constancy mayst see,

    And that yet once before I die,

    Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me.

     

    Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu,

    To God I pray to prosper thee,

    For I am still thy lover true,

    Come once again and love me.

    ilence.
     
    In restless dreams I wal
    A 
    ked 
     
    alone
     
    Narrow streets of cobble
    Bm 
    stone,
     
    ‘neath the halo of  
    G 
    a street  
    D 
    lamp,
     
    I turned my collar to the  
    G 
    cold and  
    D 
    damp
     
    When my  
    G 
    eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon  
    D 
    light
     
    That split the night
    D/C# 
    Bm 
     
    A
    D 
    nd touched the  
    A 
    sound of  
    Bm 
    silence.
     
    And in the naked light I  
    A 
    saw
     
    Ten thousand people, maybe  
    Bm 
    more.
     
    People talking with
    G 
    out 
     
    spea
    D 
    king,
     
    People hearing with
    G 
    out 
     
    liste
    D 
    ning,
     
    People writing  
    G 
    songs that voices never  
    D 
    share
     
    And no one dar
    D/C# 
    e
    Bm 
    D 
    Disturb the  
    A 
    sound of  
    Bm 
    silence.
     
    Fools said I, you do not  
    A 
    know
     
    Silence like a cancer  
    Bm 
    grows.
     
    Hear my words that I  
    G 
    might teach  
    D 
    you,
     
    Take my arms that I  
    G 
    might reach  
    D 
    you.
     
    But my  
    G 
    words like silent raindrops  
    D 
    fell
    D/C# 
    ,
    Bm 
     
    And
    D 
    echoed
     
    In the  
    A 
    wells of  
    Bm 
    silence
     
    And the people bowed and  
    A 
    prayed
     
    To the neon God they  
    Bm 
    made.
     
    And the sign flashed out  
    G 
    its 
     
    war
    D 
    ning,
     
    In the words that it w
    G 
    as 
     
    for
    D 
    ming.
     
    And the sign said, the  
    G 
    words of the prophets
     
    Are written on the subway w
    D 
    alls
     
    And tenement  
    D 
    halls.
    D/C# 
    Bm 
     
    And whisp
    D 
    er’d in the  
    A 
    sounds of  
    Bm 
    silence.
