Les premières lueurs du jour
Ont dessiné à contre jour
Ta silhouette
Ta silhouette
Comme sur un fond de velours
Les toits dessinent leurs contours
A ma fenêtre
A ma fenêtre
{Refrain:}
Et un oiseau chante déjà
Pour que se lève le soleil
Pour le tirer de son sommeil
Au loin l'oiseau chante déjà
Au loin l'oiseau chante déjà
Sur l'horizon encore sombre
La cité a dressé son ombre
Comme un décor
Comme un décor
{au Refrain}
Et un oiseau chante déjà
Comme l'appel de mon départ
Comme la fin de mon espoir
Au loin l'oiseau chante déjà
Au loin l'oiseau chante déjà
Avant que meure la pénombre
Je caresse la forme sombre
De ton corps
De ton corps
