Pure Reason

Islème Sassi (2017)

Don’t turn away, beautiful, look at me once again

With those dark eyes full of indifference

Oh, you wear it well, dark and proud

As you cut your way through the crowd

I’m sure you can feel my gaze on you

Never turn around

But still your thoughts weigh heavy on my skin

 

I don’t know what you’re going to do

I’m pretty sure you’ll never turn to face me

But I know no matter what you do

It’s only pure reason that holds you back

 

Come my way, beautiful, walk with me one step, two, three

There’s still a chance you’ll make some fun of me

Oh, you do it well and I like the way

I fail to make the slightest impression on you

It’s clear you can see all through my tricks

Never play along

But still I’m sure you wouldn’t want to miss

 

I don’t mind to play the fool

I don’t mind to lose

Cause who sais a winner’s that much happier

This sun rises today and this moon gleams tonight

And we’ve got this one life

As the poets say, it’s only today

That we’ve got that one life.
