He walks as if he were twenty
He loses his memory at times
Nothing will ever be the same as before

He watches others while singing
Nose to the sky, scarf in the wind
He's always tinkering with an object like before

Like before, like before
Like before
He walks as if he were twenty, like before
Like before
He feels the same and yet
It's his memory that's slipping away

And if he never returned to the house where he lived
He's still looking for his keys, like before
And even if he didn't recognize
His children when they came
A huge love surrounds him like before

Like before, like before
Like before
He walks as if he were twenty, like before
Like before
He feels the same and yet
It's his whole life that's slipping away
Like before, like before

No, nothing will ever be the same as before
Like before
It's his memory that's slipping away
But he walks as if he were twenty
Like before

If he opens his arms for no reason
He will fly away for good
Like in Folon's drawings
