Lyrics of She Was by Camille
verse
When she was home, she was a swan
When she was out, she was a tiger
And a tiger in the wild is not tied to anyone
When she was lost, she was a toad
The day I found her on the road
I gave her water and a rose
And as she stretched, the sun rose
chorus
Go, go, go
Go away, go away, go away
Go, go, go
Go away, go away
verse
When she was young, she was a cow
And all day long she milked the stars
She taught me "Women to survive
Must be unfaithful to their child"
Of all the wonders of the world
She was a lady with a bird
She must have had so many lives
Was it the first? Was it the last?
chorus
Go, go, go
Go away, go away, go away
Go, go, go
Go away, go away
verse
When she was ill, she was a whale
She was so patient, she would wait
Until I sang her by the lane
The sweetest tunes to ease her pain
When she was old, she was an owl
I saw her swaying in the sky
And then she died inside my arms
I realized she was a cat
chorus
Go, go, go
Go away, go away, go away
Go, go, go
Go away, go away
bridge
Sometimes I wonder (go)
If my child (go) will have her eyes (go)
(Go away, go away)
To see through me (go) when I die (go)
And I am born again (go)
(Go away, go away)
What will I be? (Go)
A stone? (Go), a cat? (Go)
A tree? (Go away, go away)
chorus
Go, go, go
Go away, go away, go away
Go, go, go
Go away, go away, go away
Go, go, go
Go away, go away, go away
Go, go, go
Go away, go away, go away
outro
Go, go, go
Go away, go away
Writer(s): Camille Dalmais, Clement Ducol
