Lullaby For Adults
Since we grew old
There are no more sand merchants
Sitting on the bed board
To sing us his fables
At the beginning of the night
As at the dawn of our lives
Since we grew old
We are no longer girl and boy
br/>We like to remember
That we defeated the dragons
We no longer dare to dream about it
The heroes are tired
chorus:
There's no lullaby for adults
Because we wanted to grow up
We swallow our pill
We need to sleep
Because we let ourselves growing old
There is no lullaby for adults
Because we all wanted to escape
What remains of our childhood
We can no longer doze off
With this tender smile
Because we let ourselves grow old
Since we grew old
All our frozen memories
In an album yellowed
Will not bring us to life
To give life back
To our poor dark-circled eyes
Since we grew old
And that we work to pay
Our little piece of paradise
We dream of being rocked
By other bruised arms
For a moment of respite
chorus
Since we grew old
And foreign bodies
Have come to soil our beds
Without ever staying there
.. A p' a bit of insomnia
Which we would like to share
Since we grew old
And it takes us two breaths
To blow out the candles
There is this cry that we stifle
In the silence of our nights
Where our sobs rush in
chorus
