lyrics

She wore hand-me-down leather
And the trees seem to dance with an unseen lover
When she walks on the banks, wind-lashed,
Rain in the boat lamps, looking for dawn

And the cranes making their neat arabesques
And the ashes of park fires that fell on the ledge
Of the Pont Mirabeau where she toasts you alone
And sings with the wind that she'll never find home

“Oh come near me,
‘Cos its been too long a time
Oh come near me – “

Sous le Pont Mirabeau coule la Seine
La joie venait toujours après la peine
Sous le Pont Mirabeau coule la Seine
La joie venait toujours après la peine
After the night falls this love will remain

Season of tumbleweed weather
How that evening she woke to the touch of a lover
Still felt like the ebb of those tides on the river
Pulling her back to that shore

And she will not forget, will never redress
How she didn’t turn, when the moment was set
And how history is filled with such tomes of regret
She was a coward, he went unmet

She sang: “Oh come near me,
‘Cos its been too long a time
Oh come near me – “
Sous le Pont Mirabeau coule la Seine
La joie venait toujours après la peine
Sous le Pont Mirabeau coule la Seine
La joie venait toujours après la peine
After the night falls, this love will remain
