Once in a life
We lived in a sanctuary
A song could get us free
Slept behind the altar
Only the singer saw

Now is it gone, years on
Times we took alone
Stealing an hour, buying a night
It's hard on the telephone
Love outside the law
Je' tant rêve du toi

Is it gone, this year
Is the song still in your ear
Or were we only high
Just the wine
Just the wine
was it Only the time ?

When we're old
How will our story be told
Windswept smoke used by time
Waiting for the bus
Will that be us?

Do you recall my friend
We never thought we'd ever fall
When the salesman came to call
Selling our soul to buy
Sometimes it ain't no deal at all
Je' tant rêve du toi

Dream ... Dream too much
