Frenchtown lyrics

Sad song of Frenchtown, harmony and rhyme

Blind man walks the street, silver cane beating out time

Saxophone plays a haunting tune

Magnolia blossom, heavy perfume

He stands by the window, looking out at the street

A dark-skinned lady lies in his bed, restless in the heat

She smiles in her sleep and quietly sighs

Hanging on to promises and lovers' lies

Two old lovers trying to make it again

Just like it used to be way back when

Somehow he loved her, but it all went wrong

They just ran out of time, they couldn't wait that long

They couldn't wait that long

He turns from the window and watches her sleep

Same loving feeling, old love runs deep

The shadows are fading, the sun is starting to rise

He lies beside her and kisses her eyes

Two old lovers trying to make it again

Just like it used to be way back when

Somehow he loved her, but it all went wrong

They just ran out of time, they couldn't wait that long

Sad song of Frenchtown, harmony and rhyme

Blind man walks the street, silver cane beating out time

A saxophone plays a haunting tune

Magnolia blossom, heavy perfume
