lyrics

Through a window she stares at dried banks of a river
She reaches for an empty glass and begins to quiver
Remembering a young man who had offered it all
But there are no pictures of him anywhere on her barren walls

Le berceau est vide, le berceau est trop vide
Elle leche ses larmes
The hour glass marks twelve
and she feels the weight of emptiness in her arms

There were cruel winters and stubborn springs
Where she often dreamt of love and other things
And he was nothing but gentle and kind
She was afraid of the white dress
And preferred the life of childlessness
and he frankly never did mind

Le berceau est vide, le berceau est trop vide
Elle leche ses larmes
The hour glass marks twelve
and she feels the weight of emptiness in her arms

She sits me down and says
"Ce pourrait etre votre avenir"
We must keep the ones we love near
So choose right and think deep
But I'm still too young to see
What kind of life awaits me
And if this man is worth the loss of sleep

But could I learn to love them?

Le berceau est vide, le berceau est un miroir
Elle leche ses larmes
The hour glass marks twelve
and she feels the weight of me still deciding in her arms
