Le Vent Nous Portera
Sophie Hunger
The Wind Will Carry Us
I'm not afraid of the road
We should see, we should listen
Through the twists in the small of the back
And everything will be fine there
The wind will carry us
Your message to the Great Bear
And the trajectory of the race
A snapshot of velvet
Even if it serves no purpose
The wind will carry it away
Everything will disappear but
The wind will carry us
The caress and the gunfire
And this wound that pulls at us
The palace of other days
Of yesterday and tomorrow
The wind will carry them away
Genetics in tow
Chromosomes in the atmosphere
Taxis to the galaxies
And my flying carpet
The wind will carry it away
Everything will disappear but
The wind will carry us
The scent of our dead years
What can knock on your door
Infinite destinies
We lay one down and what do we retain?
The wind will carry it away
While the tide rises
And everyone takes stock
I take in the hollow of my shadow
Dust of you
The wind will carry them away
Everything will disappear but
The wind will carry us
