Demons and marvels, winds and tides
far away already the sea withdrawn
and you like a seaweed
softly caressed by the wind
In the sands of the bed
you stir while dreaming
Demons and marvels, winds and tides
Far away already the sea withdrawn
but in your half opened eyes
two small waves remained
Demons and marvels, winds and tides
two small waves to drown myself
Extract from The Devil's Envoys (Visiteurs du Soir), sung by Jacques Jansen over the voice of actor Alain Cuny:
