Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Plain and fantastic
Lonely together
Painful and tender like the
First rule of the mai
You are
Sweet and slow
Creole creole creole
You are veiled and bold

Creole creole creole
Open and distant
The warm and teh sharp breeze
Movement and stylish you are
So shining lightning

I just go walking in the ray-hain
When i feel you in the sky
I just go walking in the ray-hain when i feel you
Passing by high

Oo woah oo woah oo woah

Easy, fantastic
Lonely together
Painfully tender like
The la-ast clap of thunder
Open in distance
The warm and the sharp breeze
Movement in silence
You are
Sweet and slow
Creole creole creole
You are
Veiled and bold
Creole creole creole

Creole! creol creole
Creole! creole creole
Cre-e-e-o-o-o-oh-oh-ooohhh
I... love... you
I lo-o-o-ove you
I love you
I Love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you!
I LOVE YOU-OOO!

I just go walking in the rain
When I feel you in the sky- I- I- I - High
I just go walking in the rain
When I fell you passing
By- I- I- I

Oo woah oo woah oo woah

Easy fanstatic
Born in a sharp breeze
Painful and tender
Last clap of thunder
Open in distance
Lonely together
Movement in silence
You are, soul shine of lightning
Soul shine of lightning you are
The movement in silence you are
Last clap of thunder
