If I had the time, I'd walk
All over your asleep body
And I'd wet your back with rain drops
Which I'll dry with the coldness of the evening
If I had the time, I'd give you
My latest pain
Which, now resigned, no longer hurts
It's a caress that makes no noise
And I'd find the strength to wake up
People asleep in their homes
And I'd find the strength to break
This room of mine where everything makes silence
If I had the time, I'd save you
From the blasphemies of life
If I had the time, I'd hold you
Till I broke you among my fingers
If I had the time, I'd amaze you
All the times I walk
Among your white hands I'd look
For the fresh wind of the morning
If I had the time, I'd talk to you
Like I did when I was a child
Lost in your beautiful, huge eyes
Sat by yourself on a step
I'd like to have huge arms
To embrace all that you are
I'd like to see your real life
Among all those that you unfortunately have
And I'd find the strength to scream
Unafraid of waking you up
And I'd find the strength to escape
Unafraid of leaving you
If I had the time, I'd smother you
In the light of a star
If I had the time, I'd maybe write
A song, the most beautiful one
