J'aimais les fées et les princessesQu'on me disait
n'exister pasJ'aimais le feu et la tendresseTu vois
je vous rêvais déjàJ'aimais les tours hautes et
largesPour voir au large venir l'amourJ'aimais les tours
de cœur de gardeTu vois je vous guettais
déjàJ'aimais le col ondoyant des vaguesLes saules nobles
languissant vers moiJ'aimais la ligne tournante des alguesTu
vois je vous savais déjàJ'aimais courir jusqu'à tomberJ'aimais
la nuit jusqu'au matinJe n'aimais rien non j'ai
adoréTu vois je vous aimais déjàJ'aimais l'été pour
ses oragesEt pour la foudre sur le toitJ'aimais
l'éclair sur ton visageTu vois je vous brûlais
déjàJ'aimais la pluie noyant l'espaceAu long des brumes
du pays platJ'aimais la brume que le vent
chasseTu vois je vous pleurais déjàJ'aimais la vigne
et le houblonLes villes du Nord les laides
de nuitLes fleuves profonds m'appelant au litTu vois
je vous oubliais déjà
