Original Lyrics from Télétoile

Contrail

lie down in the breathing grass
look up at the wishful glass
a contrail marks the same
it almost writes a name, your name
a contrail marks the same
and rhymes repeat the game, repeat the game
                       over you

hundreds watch on the airplane, over you
front of the fading stain, over you

the boy has his birthday
the man knows what they say
the boy has his birthday
and clouds can kiss in play, can kiss in play
                       over you
                       over you

a daydream comes unwound
the sky injects the ground
within there beats an urge
look, you know you've got to let it out
                       over you
                       look at us!

release what you understand, over you
the lifeline is in your hand, over you

a daydream comes unwound
the sky injects the ground
within there beats an urge
you know you've got to let it out

the boy has his birthday, over you
the man knows what they say, over you
the boy has his birthday, over you
and clouds can kiss in play, over you
the boy has his birthday, over you
the man knows what they say, over you
the boy has his birthday, over you
and clouds can kiss in play, over you
can kiss in play, over you
can kiss in play, over you
can kiss in play, over you
till they melt away, over you
they have their way, over you
can kiss in play, over you
can kiss in play, kiss in play, kiss in play
                       over you
