Charlotte Gainsbourg 5:55 Lyrics

5:55 Lyrics

A cinq heures cinquante-cinq

Awake with open eyes

A drift upon the night

And miles away from land



5:55

5:55



A cinq heures cinquante-cinq

Ante meridiem

Too late to end it now

Too early to start again



5:55

5:55



Soon the morning, it will arrive

Can I begin another day?

Whilst this old day is still alive

Refusing to be put away



5:55

No sleep tonight

5:55



Like a beast awaits its faith

Laid here with time to kill

The very dead of night

Where time and space stand still



5:55

5:55



5:55

No sleep tonight

5:55



A cinq heures cinquante-cinq

Nothing will ever change

On the altar of my thought

I sacrifice myself again and again and again



5:55

5:55



And again

And again

And again

...
