Lyrics Catch Me If You Can - Jane Birkin

Catch me if you can, my love
I'm almost gone, from view
On tiptoes, I shut the door
On happiness, to all I knew
On happiness, to all I knew

Softly I have crossed the road
And I've left you
Standing just the way you were
The way that you, used to be

Catch me if you can
I'm falling fast, be aware
Take care
Catch me if you can
She cried, before she died
For you
She came flying down, to your safe arms

Will you protect me
From the fear of growing old?

Will you help me, will you hold me
When the others go
Children calling, from forgotten hills
I'm on my way, home to you
I'm on my way, home to you

Home like Ulysses, between his parents
Sees Penelope's thread
Faithful Angus recognized your thread

That's what the children from the odyssey want
Home and peace at last, in our time ... guts, guts

Will you protect me
From the fear of growing old?

Will you help me, will you hold me
When the others go
How I loved you, my heart might break
From the pain of going now
My mistake, too late
