You lie in peaceful slumbers
|
But yet so proud
|
So safe the second city
|
Houses reach the skyline and
|
Far below the narrow streets that sing
|
With the movement of the crowd
|
|
No break from daily changes
|
As life goes on
|
Secure as French men can be
|
Fill your time with love and wine
|
And in your heart you'll know as long as you
|
There will always be a song
|
|
Then on a winter's day
|
With your face against the cold and rain
|
In the wind there's changes
|
The rivers rise
|
The water grips the town - tears fill her eyes
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I'm standing here which way to go
|
The crossroads call, but they don't know
|
Midnight, caught inside
|
I'm standing here, could all be lost
|
The crossroads call
|
You've stood so long
|
|
It weaves the strangest picture
|
Of silky thread
|
The shadows cast reflection
|
Lyons as the water's bed
|
Trees that stand look straight ahead
|
And search for a sight of distant land
|
|
This was a winter's day
|
In your heart you felt the cold and rain
|
Change the wind to silence
|
There's not a sound
|
Silver patterns run and dance
|
Upon the ground
|
|
[Chorus]
|
