Your skin is not waterproof
It leaks with desire
From too long absences
And from longing, you sigh
If I weaken, if I can no longer stand
Lay my body here
At the top of Ventoux

And cover me with lavender
And with salt if you cry
Before the snows of December
Before the flowers fade
I want to die now
And be reborn in the spring
I want to die now
And be reborn in the spring

Your skin always so white
In the sun will darken
The fruits on this branch
In the sun will ripen
And I weaken
Oh, I can no longer stand
Lay my body here
At the top of Ventoux

And cover me with lavender
And with salt if you cry
Before the snows of December
Before the flowers fade
I want to die now
And be reborn in the spring
I want to die now
And be reborn in the spring

My skin is not so young
It knows goodbyes
And under an autumn sky
I finally close my eyes
And I weaken
Oh, I can no longer stand
So leave me here
At the top of Ventoux

And cover me with lavender
And with salt if you cry
Before the snows of December
Before the flowers fade
But if I die now
I will never be twenty
Flowers don't really die
They are reborn in the spring
