1. In the storm of an ageless forest
On the outskirts of Poitou
In the autumn when I lived with you
I saw the face of a wild child
Who wore a jewel
Green eyes drowned in red hair
In the autumn when I lived with you

God makes images with the clouds
The rain makes mirrors in the mud
I looked for you everywhere
I keep a mirage in a strange cage
As only fools can build
I looked for you everywhere

2. She was of the age of wanderings
Barefoot on the pebbles
In the rivers where wolves come to drink
At my passing, she took my luggage
She followed me everywhere
Up to the floor where I had my lock
Green eyes drowned in red hair

God makes images with the clouds
The rain makes mirrors in the mud
I looked for you everywhere
I keep a mirage in a strange cage
As only fools can build
I looked for you everywhere

3. The day after the storm
There was a message left:
I like you a lot
But I don't think I need you
Green eyes drowned in red hair

God makes images with the clouds
The rain makes mirrors in the mud
I looked for you everywhere
I keep a mirage in a strange cage
As only fools can build
I looked for you everywhere
