Peintures de Emilie Charmy - Noa chante Wildflower
lyricsIn a tenement near the Henry Hudson River
From my favorite spot on a rusting fire escape
I would look below.
And see Mario
Braving the ferocious dandelions
Mario, our fearless superintendent
Kept the garden green, despite the parkway smog
But the flowering weeds
Their fates decreed
Pulled, to keep his rosebush from dying
Then I would creep inside, curl up in my bed
Something strong was pulling at my head
Pulling at my heart
Wild flower, growing in all the wrong places
Wild flower, so lonely ‘neath that lovely rose bush
Proper garden’s nightmare, queen of opened fields
Tell me, who will love this wildflower
For exactly what she is?
Years passed by, we left that red brick building
Left Mario behind
For a brand new house
But my dark brown skin
On the white washed walls within
Stood out, so it’d get me up and cryin’
My growing pains had many rooms to fill, then
Mother never know
..Had a garden to keep clean
While there was NY grease
On her young flower from the Middle East
She was busy pulling dendelions
Then I would creep inside, curl up in my bed
Something strong was pulling at my head
Pulling at my heart
Wild flower, growing in all the wrong places
Wild flower, so lowly ‘neath that lovely rosebush
Proper garden’s nightmare, queen of opened fields
Tell me, who will love this wildflower
For exactly what she is?
Noa - I don't know
lyrics
Flower, colored bright
I am strong I can fight
But I don’t know.
Tower, brick and stone
Make my way on my own
But I don’t know
I don’t know why, I don’t know how
If I can fly, can I fly now?
Are my wings strong enough to bear
The winds out there?
Hey, I don’t know.
Tell me it’ll never fade
And I’ll go forth unafraid
Because I don’t know.
Show me rain and flood
To cool the fire in my blood
Because I don’t know.
I don’t know why, I don’t know how
If I can fly, can I fly now?
Are my wings strong enough to bear
The winds out there?
Hey, I don’t know.
Darkness, edge of night
You are here, I’m in flight
Now I know, now I know
Now I know
Noa - Child of Man
lyrics
If I were a desert flower
All winter long I’d pain and cower
Spring would make me sing
My voice would ring
As tiny buds begin to bloom
In spring I’d blossom and forget
The winters gloom.
If I were a brook of water
Kissed by the frost along my borders
Spring would make me sing my voice would ring
As I’d release my ice chains
In spring I’d bubble and forget the winter’s rains.
But I am only a child of man
I am only a child of man
Just an innocent child of man
Don’t look so surprised as my eyes shine and glow
It’s the sunlight in the skies that is making me so.
If I were a joyful songbird
All winter long so cold and somber
Spring would make me sing
My voice would ring like tiny bells on scarves of silk
A song as beautiful and pure as mothers milk.
But I am only a child of man
I am only a child of man
Just an innocent child of man
Don’t look so surprised as my eyes
Shine and glow
It’s the sunlight in the skies
That is making me so.
Don't be surprised
By this look in my eyes
Like a flower or tree
I will bloom in the spring
I will shed all my woes
As the green grass grows
Like a flower or tree
I will throw my head back and sing
If I were a desert flower, desert flower..
