Paris Bells Lyrics by Marianne Faithfull

Paris Bells Lyrics

    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.
