Last night I had a dream
About a man without a face
No eyes, no mouth, no features
Just two holes in an empty space
There were ruins in this no-man’s land
Like a burned down and empty village
Nothing there from a former life
Nothing there to recognize
No eyes, no tears, no story
His hands were blue
With lines of me and you

And I saw
That the man with no face was you baby
And I saw
That this land with no name was yours baby
And I knew
That the man with no face was you
And I saw
That the man with no face was you
The man with no face was you
It was you baby

I woke up from my dream in shock
The room was dark and nothing but blue
Your face had disappeared
In the no-man’s land, you look so weird
You’re trying hard or pretending
No tomorrow here, no happy ending
No word, no gesture
To name your adventure
No stories in your story
My dream was strange
This is the end of your game

And I saw
That the man with no face was you baby
And I knew
That this land with no name was yours baby
And I realized
That the man with no face was you
And I saw
That the man with no face was you
    That the man with no face
was you baby
