I was waiting

And I listened to the fountains' running water for a long time
And I listenedd to the wind singing endlessly
Soothing and peacefull waves from as far as I can remember
Childhood is a huge ocean
 
And I dreamed long years, long indolence
When nothing happens but nothing is forgotten
I was serene on my way without knowing the least fire from an absence
It was only when I met you that I knew, I understood
 
I was waiting, I was waiting
I was waiting for your gaze to explain at last
The reasons for those goobyes
Along this long way
 
I was waiting, I was waiting
Your body's country, the touch of your hands
My sweet compass, my North
The direction of my tomorrows
 
And I approached troubles, shores, teenagers
The doubts, games, bad currents
I remember the bloody blows, the musics and the words from France
Past lovers
 
There are a lot of lives being fed studies or science
Fates made of adventures, records or money
Lives of writting ang travel or dreams of power
I did think about it from time to time,
While listening to the wind
 
I was waiting, I was waiting
I was waiting for your gaze to explain at last
The reasons for those goobyes
Along this long way
 
I was waiting, I was waiting
I was waiting for your love
Your lovely, your beautiful love
I was waiting for it to live at last
By giving mine back
 
I was waiting
