Je me souviens d'un arbre, je me souviens du vent
De ces rumeurs de vagues au bout de l'océan
Je me souviens d'une ville, je me souviens d'une voix
De ces Noëls qui brillent dans la neige et le froid

Je me souviens d'un rêve, je me souviens d'un roi
D'un été qui s'achève, d'une maison de bois
Je me souviens du ciel, je me souviens de l'eau
D'une robe en dentelle déchirée dans le dos

Ce n'est pas du sang qui coule dans nos veines
C'est la rivière de notre enfance
Ce n'est pas sa mort qui me fait d'la peine
C'est de n'plus voir mon père qui danse

Je me souviens d'un phare, je me souviens d'un signe
D'une lumière dans le soir, d'une chambre anonyme
Je me souviens d'amour, je me souviens des gestes
Le fiacre du retour, le parfum sur ma veste

Je me souviens si tard, je me souviens si peu
De ces trains de hasard, d'un couple d'amoureux
Je me souviens de Londres, je me souviens de Rome
Du soleil qui fait l'ombre, du chagrin qui fait l'homme

Ce n'est pas du sang qui coule dans nos veines
C'est la rivière de notre enfance
Ce n'est pas sa mort qui me fait d'la peine
C'est de n'plus voir mon père qui danse

Ce n'est pas du sang qui coule dans nos veines
C'est la rivière de notre enfance
Ce n'est pas sa mort qui me fait d'la peine
C'est de n'plus voir mon père qui danse
