lyrics

Raindrops rise, plummet as
Teardrops plunge, soar in sync with
Rooftops burnt, frozen in
Crystal coil

Teardrops rise, plummet as
Dewdrops dive, soar in sync with (Soaring)
Rooftops burnt, frozen in
Crystal clockwork

Raindrops rise, plummet as (And plummet)
Teardrops plunge, soar in sync with (Soar in sequence) (Soaring)
Rooftops burnt, frozen in (And frozen)
Crystal coil (Crystal coil) (Crystal coil)

Teardrops rise, plummet as (And plummet)
Dewdrops dive, soar in sync with (Soar in sequence) (Soaring)
Rooftops burnt, frozen in (And frozen)
Crystal clockwork

..... (Spoken Word) .....

C’est un trou de verdure où chante une rivière,
Accrochant follement aux herbes des haillons
D’argent ; où le soleil, de la montagne fière,
Luit : c’est un petit val qui mousse de rayons.

Un soldat jeune, bouche ouverte, tête nue,
Et la nuque baignant dans le frais cresson bleu,
Dort ; il est étendu dans l’herbe, sous la nue,
Pale dans son lit vert où la lumière pleut.
Les pieds dans les glaïeuls, il dort. Souriant comme
Sourirait un enfant malade, il fait un somme :
Nature, berce-le chaudement : il a froid.

Les parfums ne font pas frissonner sa narine ;
Il dort dans le soleil, la main sur sa poitrine,
Tranquille. Il a deux trous rouges au côté droit.

~ Le Dormeur Du Val - Arthur Rimbaud, 1870
