Marianne Faithfull - Paris Bells LYRICS

Past the caf 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 youre gone away from me

Youre just a memory

Like the bells ring on the breeze,

Paris bells ring on the breeze.
