"When I'm alone I think that she's there"

lyrics

intro.
When I'm alone I think that she's there
When I'm alone I think that she's there
In a summer night time
Below the city stars shine
I've rest for a while
In a dark alley drive

verse 1.
In a town where the ghosts wake up at night there was a girl
And she enlighted me, and she gave faith in me
She used to come up to my door
I'm so alone
And she enlighted me, and she took care of me

chorus 1.
And now I'm here after a lifetime since you're gone
The city reminds me all the signs
That led to all those days we lost
Amy I'm here after a lifetime since you're gone
The city reminds I felt alive with you
And all those days we lost

verse 2.
Sitting outside in the stairwell
As you're sleeping tight in your home shell
I'm sharing all my confessions
Staring at the stadium light reflection
Wake up from your nightmare
Come and sit and talk I don't care
We could spend the night forever
And leave this world for good together

bridge
As I lay here free from any shame
As I lay here I don't feel any pain
I let the stars relive the moment
By the river we've been laying
Let it go

chorus 2.
And now I'm here after a lifetime since you're gone
The city reminds me all the signs
That led to all those days we lost
Amy I'm here after a lifetime since you're gone
The city reminds I felt alive with you
And all those days we lost

final.
When I'm alone I think that she's there
When I'm alone I think that she's there
In a summer night time
Below the city stars shine
I've rest for a while
In the alley drive
And when the city's dyin'
And when the sun quits shining
I'm brought back in time
To all those days left behind

BigYes Montreal, Québec

This album represents a quest of mine. It all started when I left my sweet
childhood home. I quickly felt the need to search for answers and to better
understand how the world worked. Nothing seemed right around me. I had to go and
explore. The album ''Play'' relates to all the weird
situations I have been involved in and how I played to see the best out of each situation. ... more
