When the evening slipped over us
At the exit of the school in the city
We held hands and I told you
I love you
When a child then cut our way
With a tin drum and a trail
And then that sound bounced on us
I love you

My refuge, my refuge
You are my refuge
Then you clung tightly to me
Almost to protect the echo inside you
Of the first words of love
I love you
When the snow of silence whitened
All that noise in the center of the city
And it froze our words
I love you

My refuge, my refuge
You are my refuge

When people then came out of the theaters
Smoke and roses against our steps
That we counted of kisses never given
I love you

My refuge, my refuge
You are my refuge
And when the enchantment still speaks of you
From a painting, a dawn or from what is not there
Smiling I still think of you
That I love you

So far away I don't know if you will be
So close you may listen to me
Like me no one will be able to tell you
I love you
My refuge, my refuge
You are my refuge
