Désert
Sophie-Tith Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh mon amour
Mon âme sœur, je compte les jours, je compte les heures
Je voudrais te dessiner dans un désert
Le désert de mon cœur

Oh mon amour
Ton grain de voix fait mon bonheur
A chaque pas

Laisse moi te dessiner dans un désert
Le désert de mon cœur

Dans la nuit parfois
Le nez à la fenêtre
Je t'attends et je sombre
Dans un désert
Dans mon désert
Voilà

Oh mon amour
Mon cœur est lourd, je compte les heures, je compte les jours
Je voudrais te dessiner dans un désert
Le désert de mon cœur

Oh mon amour
Je passe mon tour, j'ai déserté les alentours
Je te quitte, voilà c'est tout

Voilà c'est tout

Dans la nuit parfois
Le nez à la fenêtre
J'attendais et je sombre
Jetez au vent mes tristes cendres
Voilà
Voilà

Oh mon amour
Je compte les jours
