1. Ring ring, hello?

Here, look this way,
I have a word on my tongue
I am here and sitting on a bay,
come my way, sit, enjoy the way the waves play,

Here, look this way,
I have a story to tell
my name is Bouée,
hi, nice to meet you, nice day, eh?

I should tell you of my problem,
See, well, I kinda have "memory loss",
and so that's why, friend,
I obsessively write, do you understand?

I scribble down memories, on dirt paths of papyrus,
much like you use your hands,
to sew, or knit a blouse, or whatever,
not insinuating anything, sir...

But, you must listen
can I have your attention?
I have something important to share,
like a house on fire needs firemen;

Ring ring, hello? I answer my phone.
A respose, a finality...
Oh really, you can't make it?
That's ok, I'll just go home.

Here, look this way,
I am about to fade...
I said what I needed to say
Thank you, friend, have a nice day!
