Ta besoin de lumière

Mais un jour elle s'est envolé en plein ciel
C'est l'été qui l'a apporté après chez elle
Mais un jour elle s'est envolé en plein ciel
Je sais ou elle est
Tu n'as pas couché sans soleil
Elle rêve allongé, adieu soleil
Elle reste apeuré sans soleil
Vous l'a pas couché, adieu soleil
Je sais ou elle est
