lyrics
Oh, the open halls of the soul
I wouldn't be surprised,
if we never sang this song again,
no, I wouldn't be surprised,
if we never sang this song again.
Only music sets my soul free,
my hearts a gem,
wrapped up in your song again.
Hear the branches break beneath the tree?
Oh, what will will I do,
if I stop loving you?
Oh, the open halls of the soul,
I wouldn't be suprised,
if we never sang this song again.
Oh the open halls of the soul,
I wouldn't be surprised,
if we never sang this song again,
No, I wouldn't be surprised,
if we never sang this song again.
The ocean beaches will all be washed away,
I must let you go,
you show me so most everyday.
Damaged stars fall silent to the sea,
oh, the lonely life of a fool,
of a fool like me.

This "Live at Montreux" is an incredible rendition of the beauty of her music. "Ugly and Vengeful" will make you cry with this fantastic version, sublimating the studio version. Jérémy Payan
