lyrics

A fold of your skin – bottomless, but we know how it ends.
A feel for your eyes – reflectionless, but we know on what they stand:
shiny, shining, watery and watering and mine,
telling told, promising of what may lie in your time.

I know your name.
I know your face.
I know how you breathe at night.
I know how you cry and whine.
Won’t I have said it? Won’t you have heard my voice?
Won’t I have said it? (To) stay still with me, still stay our hearts.

Eléa, if I could tell you something to keep with you always, to guide you up and down, over and above, and beyond and besides, won’t I have already said it?
Your name, my name, that I love you unconditionally, forever, and with an intensity that’s infinite?

(Eléa, my infinite girl, Eléa.)

Eléa, if I could hear you, to keep you with me always, to find me when up or down, now or again. Your name? Your face? Won’t I have already done it? Won’t you have said it – that you remember me with a fondness and quivering heart, and with the trust that we’ve said it, that we’ve done it, that we love you unconditionally, forever, and with an intensity that’s infinite?

A fold of your skin, bottomless
A feel for your eyes, reflectionless.
But we know how it ends, but we know on what they stand.
Shiny, shining, watery and watering and mine.
Telling told, promising of what may lie in your time.

I know your name.
I know your face.
I know how you breathe at night.
I know when you laugh and cry.
Won’t I have said it? Won’t you have heard my voice? Won’t I have meant it? Or did you just feel a breeze, annoyed, some heat, some noise?

Eléa, if I could tell you something to keep with you always, to guide you up and down, over and above, and beyond and besides, won’t I have already said it?
Your name, my name, that I love you unconditionally, forever, and with an intensity that’s infinite?
