Paroles de Chinese Butterflies

66 or 64,

it doesn't really matter anymore

There's no more throwing sticks into the river
And me I've not just grown, I've grown too clever

Just let go



Back then I was French and yet Chinese

I knew songs of butterflies and bees

But the poets killed the vipers and the songs

Chained the princess and carried her along

Just let go



I remember all the songs
But I won't try as giants have no tongue



It was all a bluff I guess

All things have to end I guess

Just let go



In this one enchanted place

we're back where we began...
