In looking for a trace of you I've all but combed the earth

I've dragged myself to one end back to where I started first

I lose count of the miles and all the bubbles that you burst

And at last I realise that I may live or die of thirst



In looking for a trace of you I've done more than I should

The comfort of a stranger's touch never did me any good

I ask again and again if I could have been misunderstood

I wait, waiting for what ? when I have done all that I could



And doucement I will forget doucement

I'll take every step doucement

Knowing I've lost all hope to find

A way to ever change your mind



In looking for a trace of you I've all but tempted fate

I've scaled the highest mountains beneath the Milky Way

To fall only to find prophets of love prophets of hate

To learn what I've known all along deep in my heart but could not say



And doucement I will forget doucement

I'll take every step doucement

Knowing I've lost all hope to find

A way to ever change your mind



Doucement I will forget doucement

I'll take every step doucement

Knowing I've lost all hope to find

A way to ever change your mind.
