1 I wipe the glasses at the back of the café
I have too much to do to be able to dream
But in this banal setting it's worth crying
I still seem to see them arriving
They arrived holding hands
Looking amazed
Like two cherubs
Carrying the sun
They asked
In a quiet voice
A corner to love each other
In the heart of the city
And I remember
That they looked at with a tender air
The hotel room with the yellowed paper
And when I closed the door on them
There was so much sun at the bottom of their eyes
How it hurt me
How it hurt me.
2 I wipe the glasses at the back of the cafe
J I have too much to do to be able to dream
But in this banal setting to cry
It was body against body that we found them
We found them holding hands
Eyes closed
Towards other mornings
Filled with sunshine
We put them to bed
United and peaceful
In a hollow bed
In the heart of the city
And I remember
Having closed in the early morning
The hotel room of the lovers of a day
But they stuck deep in my heart
A piece of sunshine and so many colors
Which hurts me so much
Which hurts me so much.
I wipe the glasses at the back of the café
I have too much to do to be able to dream
But in this banal setting to cry
There is always outside the room to rent...
