They burned the green and the school stands there alone now
The bicycle racks are still empty, even though the holidays are over
They cut down the chestnut trees in the avenue in front of the schoolyard
And I move quietly I don't belong here, I am the apparition
I don't know why, but maybe that's why I remember it so well
Your big eyes, your brown hands, your sharp knees
Was it you I saw, like a shadow out of my dreams
Was it you I saw, you I swore never to forget
They dig in the park and the frost in the ground, becomes a defense
And at the corner of the church where the railway goes, they have blocked off
Someone lying in the grass, with frosty clothes, so still and white
And the blue lights are flashing, think what you can do with a little knife
And I don't know why but I always return here
It was something we did, something we said here that changed my life
Was it you I saw, like a shadow from my dreams
Was it you I saw, you I swore never to forget< br/>Was it you I saw like a ghost from dead dreams
Was it you I saw, have I finally managed to forget?
