Terre
J'ai passé trop de temps sur la route
À espérer les faibles traces que tu as semées

Terre
Si tu savais combien je t'ai manqué
Ces journées sans boussole, je l'ai souvent prié

Terre
Que font les amants qui se retrouvent?
Que dois-je mettre ce soir?
Un tien de parfum, de l'alcool ou du blues?

Terre
De mots doux qui tremblent et nichent partout
De silences bavards, de paupières contre joues

Et qu'importe le jeu
J'ai ce que je veux
Hisser le pavillon bleu
Car ce soir j'ai touché

Terre
Terre d'asile, sur ta peau de velours
Glissent les encore et les toujours

Terre
Terre promise, les oiseaux se souviennent
De nos corps en drapeaux qui claquent et qui s'aiment

Terre
Terre de feu, sans issue de secours
Et nos braises rouges se consomment à leur tour

Terre
Oubliée la mer des songes tabous
Et les secondes passent un peu plus vite chaque jour

Terre
Bien ancrée sur le sol de tes charmes
J'ai laissé les étoiles guider mes bras vers ton cou

Et ton œil complice
À graver sur mes reins
Plus jamais, jamais peur de rien
Car ce soir j'ai touché

Terre
Terre d'asile, sur ta peau de velours
Aux courbures de la fin du jour

Terre
Terre brûlée au langage du désir
Danse du ciel
Caresses, partage et soupirs

Terre
Terre étrangère, mais si proche pourtant
C'est ici que je veux mourir maintenant

Terre
Terre d'asile, terre d'amour

Terre
Terre sauvage, terre promise

Terre, terre, terre
Ce soir j'ai touché terre
Terre, terre promise
Les oiseaux se souviennent
Terre, terre, terre
Terre, terre, terre
