La Poupée
Christophe Maé
The Doll
Eyes lost in space
She watches me go by
In the creases of her wrinkles
I stumbled and fell
It hurts in my gut
Her pretty broken face
Like a pale star
Just a breath away from falling
She puffs on a cigarette, lit a hundred times
When I reach out my hand through the smoke
She was so beautiful, my doll
The one the angels forgot
And if someone had looked at her
Maybe then
Winter wouldn't have broken her
One foot in the void
She moved away
She's losing her balance
Between two salty tears
There's a sour taste
Haunting her kisses
She says she's clear-headed
Never settling down again
She puffs on a cigarette, lit a hundred times
When I reach out my hand through the smoke
She was so beautiful, my doll
The one the angels forgot
And if someone had looked at her
Maybe then
Winter wouldn't have broken her
And your heart, winter, I keep it warm
While waiting for the sun to return
And if mine spends winter warm
Know that I'm watching over you
She was so beautiful, my doll
The one the angels forgot
And if someone had looked at her
Maybe then
Winter wouldn't have broken her
Maybe that
Winter has already lasted too long
