In the shadow of the last sun
A fisherman had dozed off
And he had a furrow down his face
Like some kind of smile
A killer came to the beach
Two big kid eyes
Two huge eyes of fear
Were the mirrors of an adventure
And he asked the old man 'give me bread
I've got little time and too much hunger'
And he asked the old man 'give me wine
I'm thirsty and I'm a killer'
The old man opened his eyes to the day
He didn't even look around
But he poured the wine and broke the bread
For the one who said 'I'm thirsty, I'm hungry'
And it was the heat of a moment
Then off again toward the wind
Still the sun before his eyes
Behind his back a fisherman
Behind his back a fisherman
And memory is already pain
It's already the regret of an April
Played in the shadow of a courtyard
Two gendarmes came on horseback
They came on horseback with their weapons
They asked the old man if nearby
A killer had passed
But in the shadow of the last sun
The fisherman had dozed off
And he had a furrow down his face
Like some kind of smile
And he had a furrow down his face
Like some kind of smile
