Le Galopin

You had earthy eyes
And muddy sails
A thousand seas
On your cheeks
I hold you by the arm
I say nothing, you see
It must be said that saying
Doesn't help
If we thought of nothing
For the time of a little rascal
Sometimes thinking little
Is good
And telling ourselves we're good
Is better

There are thousands of sails
That have never seen water
We shouldn't settle too much
After a thousand mornings
If time extinguishes us

So speaking little
Will be good
But telling ourselves we're good
Will be better

Look at the stars
And feel human
Tell ourselves we're nothing
Oh, nothing
We'll do what we can
We'll have kids
Worry a little
Is good
But telling ourselves we're good
Is better

There are so many scents at the Clichy market
I found yours on Saturday
I made it my soap
I made it my song
It seems, I know
Very stupid
But you'll see tomorrow
What refrains do
Oh, crying a little
Is good
And telling ourselves we're good
Is little

But better
