lyrics

weet dreams tonight
Eyes full of light
Such fun have I for your sun sight

Stir me please before noon
When the sky’s still sapphire blue

Oh you inhale so as you laugh
Just as my hands choreograph
Don’t say too much you’ll say it all
Don’t say too much you’ll say it all

Soft music made in elegant jade
Perfumed your breath on flower cigarettes
Sweet youth tonight, full of bright light
Fresh air to breath, don’t let me leave

Sea cityscape
Stretched out before
How this night is woven with lore
Stir me please before noon
When the sky’s still sapphire blue
Oh you inhale so as you laugh
Just as my hands choreograph
Don’t give too much, you’ll give it all
Don’t give too much, you’ll give it all

Soft music made in elegant jade
Perfumed your breath on flower cigarettes
Sweet youth tonight, full of bright light
Fresh air to breath, don’t let me leave

Sweet youth tonight
Such a delight
Starry skies have we
Closing our night

Stir me please before noon
When the sky’s still sapphire blue
And when you leave just as before
They’ll take too much they’ll just take mow
Don’t take too much, you’ll take it all
Don’t take too much, you’ll take it all

Soft music made in elegant jade
Perfumed your breath on flower cigarettes
Sweet youth tonight, full of bright light
Fresh air to breath, don’t let me leave

Don’t say too much you’ll say it all
Don’t give too much you’ll give it all
Don’t take too much, you’ll take it all
Don’t say too much you’ll say it all
Don’t give too much you’ll give it all
Don’t take too much, you’ll take it all
Don’t say too much you’ll say it all
Don’t give too much you’ll give it all
Don’t take too much, you’ll take it all
You’ll take it all
You take it all
You’ll take it all

about

Liv Monaghan image

Liv Monaghan Paris, France

independent Irish vocalist and songwriter based in Paris.

My music pulls threads from Jazz, Soul, Folk, and Romanticism to create an alternative, sometimes experimental, often poetic and always original sound.

Lover of the left-behind, of old things of letter-notes and half-light ghosts which get stitched, strung or typed back up together to make something new. ... more
