Windy autumn
Evening by the river
Stands a man
A man and Gabrielle
Real looker
Her back began to shiver
Reminders of the months
Under his spell
He spoke in measure
She recognized his rhythm
Been a year
A year without a sound
She saw it comin
In gestures he delivered
Her eyes just kept
The ground…
Cause Gabrielle
Has learned to tell
The gap from
False to real
And needs a man
Who’s sane at hand
In tenderness
Revealed
(He goes) I acted badly
Can you understand me?
The prace I’m making
Cause I’m a changed man
(I was) such a fool
In how I used to trat you
Such a fool
To beat you out of life
Gone the days
I leave you with no traces
Gone the day
You hate to see my face
I know it’s late
I sweat and hesitate
Wouldn’t it
Be great?
Cause Gabrielle
I mean you well
And we have healed
In time
For all the girls
In all the world
It’s you I seek
To find, Gabrielle
She stood dazed
Nude in amazent
She heard his words
A hundred times again
A fantasy has haunted her
For ages
That fantasy had now become
Her friend
She came upon
An earring in the street
Tearful pearl
With silver to the sides
She finally won
Her walk became a run
She felt as she
Could fly
Cause Gabrielle
Has learned to tell
The gap from
False to real
In her’s the fan
Who’ll meet the man
Cause love is
Strength revealed
Gabrielle…
