about

« Littéralement un verbatim d’une matinée qui me semblait unique. Je me suis également donné la permission de composer dans une langue qui n’est pas la mienne. Les mots me sont venus en anglais, je me suis donc permis l’exercice. Cela coïncidait avec un sentiment de bonheur et d’abandon. Les deux guitares se fondent l’une à l’autre d’une façon naturelle et les chœurs interprétés par Nicolas et Maxime ont l’effet d’un vent chaud lors d’une matinée d’été ».

- Olivier Miclette

lyrics

I woke up early this morning
My girl still in her dreams
I kiss one of her cheekbones
Try not to shake it from her sleep

I pored myself a warm coffee
This morning thats what i need
I took with it outside
When i heard the early birds calling me

I smell something good
It took me a little while
To realise, it was the smoke of the fire
That we had burned last night

The breeze brings it to me
Right under my nose
I don’t smoke cigarettes
But it doesn’t mean
I don’t know how to breath

I start walking in the grass
To feel the morning dew
The wind was in my mind
Inside of me a sun already grew

At the same time i heard a voice
Calling me from inside
My girl was awake asking me : « My love,
did you leave coffee for me behind ? »

Now i’m just starting to think
That early morning suiting me
And now i’m just starting to think
That early morning suiting me
