Paris Bells

(álbum: Marianne Faithfull - 1965)

Past the café shutters down
No one stirs in the town
The morning after the rain
The barges move on the Seine

Down the avenue lined with trees
Paris bells ring on the breeze
Paris bells ring on the breeze

Dawn is breaking, birds start to sing
Sun is rising, warms everything
The echo of footsteps on a cobbled street
Dim alleyways where the shadows meet

Down the avenue lined with trees
Paris bells ring on the breeze
Paris bells ring on the breeze

The places where we used to visit
The chapel where we went to wed
Paris bells on the breeze
Often stir memories

We both knew the morning rain
We both wandered down the Seine
Now you're gone away from me
You're just a memory
Like the bells ring on the breeze
Paris bells ring on the breeze
