Paris Bells - Marianne Faithfull

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
