Des Ricochets

I could have been a kid
A little one who smiles
And doesn't care about getting wet
Like it's no big deal

But here there's no water
Just a watchful sky
That keeps weighing down
On us like hell

What I wanted was to play
But not with my life
I see you shedding tears
That we don't have here anymore

What I wanted was to dance
To make the rain fall
And I see you digging
The Earth doesn't make wells

I don't want charity
I don't want to bother
Just a little water
To skip stones
Skip stones

I could have been a kid
Like any other growing up
Without having to scrutinize
A sky that forgets you

I'm not asking for a stream
Even less a river
I just want to throw
Bottles into the sea

What I wanted was to play
But not with my life
And I see you shedding tears
That we don't have here anymore

What I wanted was to dance
To make the rain fall
And I see you digging
The Earth doesn't make wells

I don't want charity
I don't want to bother
Just a little water
To skip stones
Skip stones

I don't want charity
I don't want to bother
Just a little water
To skip stones
Skip stones

I don't want charity
I don't want to bother
Just a little water
To skip stones
Skip stones
