Dormir Debout
Francis Cabrel
Sleeping Standing Up
I had to sleep standing up,
Not a word, not a move,
The man who could save love
Left without a trace.
Somewhere in the sky,
I wait for news,
But the stars are blurry.
As much rain falls
As all the love he deserves,
The man who chased after Lucie
Left a bit too quickly.
In the bad fables,
In the sand winds,
The devil is everywhere.
I had to sleep standing up.
...Sleeping standing up.
It's a crazy story,
All this emptiness you leave,
The man who could save love
Left without a trace.
Somewhere in the sky, hard to see,
When you're knocked out standing up.
Millions of lights,
Hung on the fences,
Of this time that ruins everything,
Like signals to tell him,
That there are already rivers,
In the middle of deserts,
And fields of rocks,
And that we especially keep for him,
And that we especially keep for him,
His place among us,
...Among us...
Right among us,
For all the time we have left,
The man who could save love
Left without a trace.
From the depths of the sky,
To the walls of hotels,
The stars are blurry.
I had to sleep standing up.
...Sleeping standing up...
I had to sleep standing up.
...Sleeping standing up...
I had to sleep!
...Standing up...
