Isabelle

For a long time my heart was in retirement
And never thought of waking up
But at the sound of your voice I lifted my head
And love took me back before I could think about it
Isabelle, my love

Like fingers passing between the tree and the bark
Love infiltrated, slipped under my skin
With such insistence and with such force
That I have had no calm or rest since
Isabelle, my love

The hours near you fly like seconds
The days away from you seem like years
Giving my love a taste of the end of the world
They disturb my body as much as my thoughts
Isabelle, my love

You live in the light and I in dark corners
For you are dying to live and I am dying of love
I would be content to caress your shadow
If you wanted to offer me your destiny forever
Isabelle, my love
