Paroles de la chanson : Les tours d'horloge

Depuis ton départ
Lyon est une gare
et moi je suis resté lyonnais.
Tu es sur la ligne
moi à la consigne
avec mes pièces de monnaie.

REFRAIN :
Et les tours d'horloge
me serrent la gorge.
Chaque seconde me tue.
Sait-on où tu loges ?
Quand reviendras-tu ?
Comme ces questions sont pointues.

Et le long du Rhône,
c'est pour ton fantôme
que je laisse pendre ma main.
Maudissant ton nom
car, du cabanon,
tu me fais prendre le chemin.

REFRAIN

Et puis tu reviens
dans mon quotidien,
j'apprends par le carnet du jour
Qu'aujourd'hui les cloches
célèbrent tes noces
avec un autre, mon amour.

REFRAIN

Quand d'autres rencontres
dérèglent ma montre,
alors je connais le repos
Mais à chaque fois
que j'ai vent de toi,
je cavale après mon chapeau.
