le petit ballon rouge

don't matter if the road is long
don't matter if it's steep
don't matter if the moon is gone
and the darkness is complete
don't matter if we lose our way
it's written that we'll meet
at least, that's what
i heard you say
a thousand kisses deep

i loved you when you opened
like a lily to the heat
you see, i'm just another snowman
standing in the rain and sleet
who loved you with his frozen love
his second hand physique
with all he is and all he was
a thousand kisses deep
