Greco & Green - Souvenir de Paris testo lyric

TESTO

Wide boulevards like rivers of life
Ribbons of history
And it's pouring with poets on St Germain
Couplets of drunken feet

Je t'adore this city - her rainy old face
The bones in her cemeteries
So pour me a glass and we'll reminisce
The warmth of a cognac
A scandalous kiss
All buttoned up for winter
Under skeleton trees
This souvenir de Paris

She's wrapping a cadeaux of songs just for me
In a box with a bow
That my heart will receive
All chinoise and perfume
Like a Baudelaire dream
In the streets at midnight

Make this stone flesh, make this gargoyle alive
In the stars of the gothic night
It's clear but it's cold
And it sure feels like snow
Lovers all tucked up tight

I move like a ghost through the Place des Vosges
Invisible now with age
But pour me a glass and we'll reminisce
The warmth of a cognac
A scandalous kiss
All buttoned up for winter
Under skeleton trees
This souvenir de Paris
