lyrics

J’étais venu boire un thé.
J’avais apporté des madeleines.
Tu ne savais plus qui j’étais
et tu les triturais sans arrêt ces madeleines.

Tu déchirais le cellophane
de ces madeleines amnésiques.
Et comme le nuage de colophane
D’un violoncelle sans musique,

ta tête s’émiette comme ces madeleines,
ta tête en miettes comme ces madeleines.

J’étais venu boire un thé.
J’avais apporté des madeleines.
Tu demandais qui j’étais
Et tu disais :
« tiens, mange, j’ai acheté des madeleines »

Le bilboquet sur l’étagère,
le vieux coucou, le ramasse-miettes
sont couverts de la poussière
de tes souvenirs aux oubliettes.

Ta tête s’émiette comme ces madeleines,
ta tête en miettes comme ces madeleines.

Mais juste avant que je m’en aille
Tu t’étais souvenu d’un important détail.
Tu avais dit :
« profite du vent qui souffle sur la vie
et ça, mon enfant, il faut jamais que tu l’oublies... »

J’étais venu boire un thé.
