Caramel - Suzanne Vega (1996)

Voilà ce qu'en dit Suzanne : 
”about longing for something and wishing for something you know you really shouldn't have. Caramel is the metaphor for the thing you long for, but you shouldn't really touch"

Et comme dirait Georges : "What else ?"

Caramel - Suzanne Vega (1996)

It won't do
To dream of caramel,
To think of cinnamon
And long for you.

It won't do
To stir a deep desire,
To fan a hidden fire
So goodbye,
Sweet appetite,
No single bite
Could satisfy...

I know your name,
I know your skin,
I know the way
These things begin;

But I don't know
What I would give of myself,
How I would live with myself
If you don't go.

It won't do
To dream of caramel, 
To think of cinnamon
And long
For you.That can never burn true.

I know your name,
I know your skin,
I know the way
These things begin;

But I don't know
How I would live with myself,
What I'd forgive of myself
If you don't go.

Et comme dirait également Georges : "Good night, and good luck."
