Thibaud Latour

>>> I could write your name

I could write your name
on the mountains, on the rocks
on the seas of the earth,
on the bottles I drain.

You're so pretty
but you don't like me
I'm starved of kisses
and you don't mind.

Suddenly I'm hungry
and I open the fridge.
But the sweets are not sweet
when I eat alone.

It's why I drink on my own
and chat with my glass.
I'd better try to live
but I'd rather love you.

But I promise one day
I'll stop drinking
and I shall eat you
piece by piece
then...

I could write your name
on the mountains, on the seas,
on the stone of your grave
and on my hangover.
CHORUS

He could write her name
on the mountain, on the seas,
on the stone of her grave
and on his hangover.

I could write my name
on the side of my heart
on the stone on my grave
on my rotten liver.
CHORUS

He could write her name
on the side of his heart,
on the stone of his grave
on his rotten liver.
