Tiède se veut la nuit,
S'ouvre la boîte àsouvenirs ;
Limpide coulait ma vie
Quand j'étais clown, quand j'étais rire ;
Mais j'avais trempé chemise
Dans un naufrage !
Le cirque trop sucre a fondu
Dans le café noir des années ;
Soeur Ballerine s'est décousue
Aux fines coutures d'une danse usée ;
Rimbaud a séché chemise
Dans mon nuage !
Voyez !... Voyez ma roulotte !
Elle a besoin d'autres couleurs
Et ce vieux coeur qui cahote
Raconte que vous n'aurez pas peur ;
Les mendiant de l'infini
M'ont enchaîné !
Chargez ma roulotte !
Dix mille étés vous feront la cour
Et ce vieux coeur qui cahote
Chante que vous serez troubadours ;
Ainsi s'en ira la pluie
Et nos tourments !
En limons et merveilles,
L'horizon se prosterne
Aux reins d'un filet bleu
Que l'on appelle... la mer !
Cueillez cette roulotte !
Aimez ce cheval !
Pour vous commence un long voyage !
Moutons en transhumance,
Bergers d'un septième ciel
Issus de l'espérance
Comme le vin de la treille !

She's the promise of pearl in a pool of heartache
She's the perfect little truth wrapped in little white lies
Like the wind she will turn
She can state the case now and then
Ignore the truth
When it ain't on her side
When her eyes claim that she's a lady
You better treat her as such
But comfort the little girl when her world gets too rough
If she
If she's the woman that you live for
Make her feel how much you need her
If she's the woman you love
In the moment that your lives touched
There was something in the stars
That made you feel you'd probably die
Just for a good morning in her arms
'Cause you knew you'd seen an angel
And you were sure she'd fly away
But she chose you when she landed
And gave her heart away
So she's your mystery trip into each new tomorrow
She's the first to laugh and she's the worst to cry
She's like the tide 'neath your ship
But all the fall and rise is just a call to dance
And she's always in time
And her love is like a river in a poem
Penned in wine
That takes you floating forever rhyme after rhyme
If she
If she's the woman that you live for
Make her feel how much you need her
If she's the woman you love
