I search for summer all year long
And suddenly here it is
She has left for the beaches
And I am alone up here in the city
I hear a plane whistling above the roofs
A plane that is leaving

Blue
The afternoon is too blue
And long for me
I realize
I have no more resources
Without you
And so
I almost, almost take the train
And come, come to you
The train of desires
In my thoughts goes the other way

It seems like when I was at the oratory
With so much sun, many years ago
Those Sundays alone
Walking in a courtyard
Now I am more bored than then
Not even a priest to chat with

Blue
The afternoon is too blue
And long for me
I realize
I have no more resources
Without you
And so
I almost, almost take the train
And come, come to you
The train of desires
In my thoughts goes the other way

I search for a bit of Africa in the garden
Between the oleander and the baobab
Like I did as a child
But here there are people, it can't be done anymore
They are watering your roses
There is no lion, who knows where it is

Blue
The afternoon is too blue
And long for me
I realize
I have no more resources
Without you
And so
I almost, almost take the train
And come, come to you
But the train of desires
In my thoughts goes the other way

Blue
The afternoon is too blue
And long for me
I realize
I have no more resources
