There's something between the stars and this road A curtain of fog that never lifts You disappear every evening, a light ghost And I don't know where you hide, my true mystery I look up, the moon is a solitary beacon And here, in the quiet, a strange desire grows within me To cross every threshold And I'll learn to fly, you know, I'll learn I'll take a glider, a trail I don't know I want to climb, climb, beyond the rooftops and the wind To see where you sleep, your hiding place up high A plane, a hang glider, something that takes me To erase distance, to ignore airports I want to come and see your secrets, you know Above the clouds, to you, and never return Every good morning of yours is a veil that lifts But the night hides your true room What dreams bind you, what skies welcome you? They are silent questions that don't resolve me Perhaps you are a shadow among the pines, or a light in the blue But my heart cries out: I want to come up The courage doesn't matter, the engine doesn't matter The only thing that matters is climbing to where you are, love And I'll learn to fly, you know, I'll learn I'll take a glider, a trail I don't know I want to climb, climb, beyond the rooftops and the wind To see where you sleep, your hiding place up high A plane, a hang glider, something that takes me To erase the distance, to ignore the airports I want to come and see your secrets, you know Above the clouds, to you, and never return I imagine a pause, a refuge in the sky And the two of us, close, no more secrets A glass of wine at high altitude Among this mystery, your remote lair And the air will be light, and the earth a speck Just a whisper, our magical destiny No walls, no timetable, only what remains: Your hand in mine, and a horizon without... chains And I'll learn to fly, you know, I'll learn I'll take a glider, a trail I don't know I want to climb, climb, beyond the rooftops and the wind To see where you sleep, your hiding place up high A plane, a hang glider, something that will take me To erase the distance, to ignore the airports I want to come and see your secrets, you know Above the clouds, to you, and never return Yes, never come back Up there, where you hide It's the only place I'll come looking for you
