Jacques Brel – I Loved (J'aimais) lyrics
I loved all games and fairy tales
As strangely odd as that may seem
I loved firelight and witches' tales
You see, you were there in my dreams
I lived in a tower, cloud-top high
To stop your love from passing by
For this I simply had to do
You see, I was waiting for you
I loved the rocks, the ocean breeze
And the hissing of the foam
The wild, wild kiss of the roaring seas
Now you had brought me home
You leaped buildings in single bounds
Although I well may ask you how
You bayed the moon just like a hound
I knew I adored you now
You laced the night with raging storms
You threw the lightning 'cross the skies
You kissed my mouth with promises
You burned me with your lies
You loved me like a poet loves
My nights were made of stars and fears
Thinking that you would go away
And leave me only with my tears
I loved the towns where we made love
And the hotels where we played games
You thought I'd never live it down
Yet you see, I've forgotten your name

    I translated it to the cruch I had on an 18-year-old neightber when I was just 13. It also reminded me of The Secret Lif e of Walter Mitty. AND I also relate it to real experiences in my young life: an older guy wo kind of flirted wioth me led me to fantastic half-awake dreams in bed at night. And then: revnege.
