Une cruche en pierre

{Chorus:}
A stone jug, crumbs of bread
Around your glass, stains of wine
The bed unmade, a pair of shoes
A blue-green scarf, forgotten things.

You didn’t take the time
To put them away when you left, hm hm, hm hm
I’ll turn them into memories
For all the days to come, hm hm, hm hm
I didn’t realize how long I’ve spent
Just sitting here dreaming, asking myself a hundred times
How to spend all this time away from you,
How to spend all this time away from you.

{Chorus}

This letter’s done,
I’ll go hit the market, hm hm, hm hm
Canned goods, coffee
And eggs for dinner, hm hm, hm hm
But I lingered too long, it’s too late for the market
I’ve got a bit of wine left and I’m not hungry tonight
But how to spend all this time away from you,
How to spend all this time away from you.

{Chorus}
