Tout Excusé Lyrics

The tree in the courtyard—
Was it there before
The walls surrounded it?
It was that tree I thought of
When I saw you hemmed in
By your tight suit of faithfulness

We have the right to have a secret garden
Where others cannot enter
It's not worth making a fuss about it
No, not for me

You're looking for excuses
You'll end up fooling me!
You know, be who you are
You are totally forgiven

A statue with its fist raised
In a Parisian square,
Forever frozen in its tracks
I thought of it
When I saw you entangled
In your paper-mâché regrets and ali

We are born in a secret garden
We are full of mystery
Forever hidden
You know that for your secret garden
I don't have the key
