I'll repeat your name again and always
Pierre, Pierre, Pierre, my Pierre
You are gone and I am left with
Desolation and despair, despair
Tender friend with whom I planned to spend
The rest of the years of my life
Now I'll never hold your artistic hands
Never gaze in your luminous eyes
My dear Pierre, the work that we shared
Our purpose, our vision, our home
I never thought I'd have to go on without you
How can I continue alone?
Eat drink sleep be
Idle love and touch
The sweetest things
Of life but not succumb
Ma petite cherie, you can still find me
In the trees and the fields and the sky
Cast your sad eyes to the lily pond
My reflection is there by your side
I am all around you in the flowering broom
And the calls of the crickets and frogs
They're all carried away by the wind
Which caresses, then it is gone
Eat drink sleep be
Idle love and touch
The sweetest things
Of life but not succumb
(Let us explore the forces of nature)
(Making a light in the dark)
Now it's only me in our laboratory
In the silence of this half life
Awake until late while you sleep your last sleep
What are you dreaming this time?
Make life a dream, and make the dream real
And share with the world what it is
We are gathering shells with a hole in our pocket
We cannot hold onto such bliss
Eat drink sleep be
Idle love and touch
The sweetest things
Of life but not succumb
(Stay with me for the rest of our days dear)
(Nothing will tear us apart)
Eat drink sleep be
Idle love and touch
The sweetest things
Of life but not succumb
Oh, eat drink sleep be
Idle love and touch
The sweetest things
Of life but not succumb
Not succumb
