lyrics

Morning light pushed its way into the room
To the bed where you slept on your side
With my arm around you and face in your hair
And our legs delicately entwined
You laughed so softly as I touched your cheek
And whispered “bonjour” in your ear
You turned to me and your lips formed a smile
That helped me to forget my fears
I thought that I was the one who always got burned
Who spent my emotions before they were fully earned
Who stood on the sidelines while others took up the chase
But I was running in place
Until I met you
On Rue Pont au Chou
Five flights of narrow stairs down to the street
To the small corner boulangerie
Back to the room where the coffee is brewed
And you kept your French simple for me
That was the way the whole story began
You and I in the City of Light
But when it came time for the story to end
You decided to put up a fight
I thought that you were the one who never looked back
Who could love them and leave them and love them again and keep track
Who arranged all your lovers like dolls in a glass-covered case
Who kept a straight face
When I sang the blues
On Rue Pont au Chou
Morning light pushed its way into the room
To the bed where you slept on your side

Paris, 1977
