Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In my beginning there was nothing
So empty in the space between
And you came in, turned the lights on
And created what it's came to be
Before I pluck your wings
Cover me, please
Spread your wings, cover me and
[Verse 2]
Promise this, if I die before I wake oh
Promise this, take your time to say your grace
On your knees you'll pray for me
Promise this, be the last to kiss my lips
[Verse 3]
Alouette-uette-uette
Alouette-uette-uette
Alouette-uette-uette
Déployez les ailes
[Verse 4]
Alouette-uette-uette
Alouette-uette-uette
Alouette-uette-uette
Plumerai les ailes
[Verse 5]
Though I'm walking through the shadows
You are with me and you comfort me
Lay me down now, time for sleeping
But before that would you restore me
Before I pluck your wings
Cover me, please
Spread your wings, cover me and
[Verse 6]
Promise this, if I die before I wake oh
Promise this, take your time to say your grace
On your knees you pray for me
Promise this, be the last to kiss my lips
[Verse 7]
Alouette-uette-uette
Alouette-uette-uette
Alouette-uette-uette
Déployez les ailes
[Verse 8]
Alouette-uette-uette
Alouette-uette-uette
Alouette-uette-uette
Plumerai les ailes
[Verse 9]
By a thread we're hanging on
In the hope you don't let go
If you ever leave me
No I wanna go with you
[Verse 10]
Promise this, if I die before I wake oh
Promise this, take your time to say your grace
On your knees you'll pray for me
Promise this, be the last to kiss my lips
[Verse 11]
Alouette-uette-uette
Alouette-uette-uette
Alouette-uette-uette
Déployez les ailes
[Verse 12]
Alouette-uette-uette
Alouette-uette-uette
Alouette-uette-uette
Plumerai les ailes
[Verse 13]
Alouette, déployez les ailes
Alouette, plumerai les ailes
