lyrics
When nobody listens to you,
does your heart remain,
with the unsettled few
that are true?
Oh the air is thin,
oh the air is thin,
for you my love.
Something,
is happening here again,
stay where you are,
stay where you are
til the end.
Oh the air is thin,
Oh the air is thin,
for you my love.
Oh to let go,
of all that you know,
first you will need to be free.
Oh the air is thin,
oh the air is thin,
for you my love.
And the child,
that follows you in,
keeps you awake,
pressing wet leaves to your skin.
Oh the air is thin,
oh the air is thin,
for you my love.

This "Live at Montreux" is an incredible rendition of the beauty of her music. "Ugly and Vengeful" will make you cry with this fantastic version, sublimating the studio version. Jérémy Payan
