## Lyrics

#### Album version

[Verse 1]

Oh, let them talk while we lie in the grass

It flatters the world even if it won't last

Forgive me if I was too forward, too fast

But not being yours would be wasteful

[Chorus]

Oh, Dominic

You and me are a perfect disaster

Going our separate ways

In the pale morning after

Dominic

You and me are a perfect disaster

Going our separate ways

In the pale morning after

[Verse 2]

Oh, let them talk while you reach for my hand

Replacing a drowning idea of a man

And when we get home with our shoes filled with sand

We'll just sleep and forget that we're strangers

[Chorus]

Dominic

You and me are a perfect disaster

Going our separate ways

In the pale morning after

Dominic

You and me are a perfect disaster

Going our separate ways

In the pale morning after

[Bridge]

And when you step out that door

You'll leave me unafraid of change

And I...

And when you step out that door

You'll leave me unafraid of change

[Chorus]

Dominic

You and me are a perfect disaster

Going our separate ways

In the pale morning after

#### French version

[Couplet 1]

Oh, laisse les parler pendant que l'on dort sur le sable

Cela  flatte le monde, même si ça ne durera pas

Or  pardonne moi de m'être emportée si vite

Ce serait un gâchis de ne pas être à toi

[Refrain]

Dominique, toi et moi

C'est  un exquis désastre

Nos  chemins se séparent à l'aube du lendemain

Dominique, toi et moi

C'est  un exquis désastre

Nos chemins se séparent à l'aube du lendemain

[Couplet 2]

Oh, laisse les parler alors que tu prends ma main

Estompant le souvenir de l'empreinte de quelqu'un

Et  quand nous rentrons, les cheveux salés par l'air marin

On s'endort et oublie qu'on se connait presque pas

[Refrain]

Dominique, toi et moi

C'est un exquis désastre

Nos chemins se séparent à l'aube du lendemain

Dominique, toi et moi

C'est un exquis désastre

Nos chemins se séparent à l'aube du lendemain

[Ponte]

Emporte cette partie de moi

Dans laquelle je me reconnais pas

[Conclusion]

Emporte cette partie de moi

Dans laquelle je me reconnais pas

Dominique

(Toi et moi, c'est un exquis désastre)

Dominique

(Toi et moi, [?])
