About The Artwork

Ne me quitte pas (Don’t leave me) Don't leave me We must forget All can be forgotten That has already passed away Forget the time Of misunderstandings And the time lost Trying to know "how" Forget those hours That sometimes kill With slaps of "why" The heart of happiness Don't leave me I will give to you Pearls made of rain From countries Where it never rains I will work the land All my life and beyond To cover your body With gold and with light I will make a land Where love will be king Where love will be law Where you will be queen Don't leave me Don't leave me I will invent, for you Fanciful words That you'll understand I will tell you About those lovers Who have twice seen Their hearts set ablaze I will tell you The story of the king Who died of not having Ever met you Don't leave me We've often seen Fire flowing again From an ancient volcano Considered too old It's said that there are Fire-scorched lands That yield more wheat Than the best April And when evening comes With a burning sky The red and the black-- Are they not joined together? Don't leave me Don't leave me I won't cry anymore I won't talk anymore I will hide over there To watch you Dance and smile And to hear you Sing and then laugh Let me become The shadow of your shadow The shadow of your hand The shadow of your dog Don't leave me
