Lyrics

[00:04.33]
[00:15.33] Saphire earings in the one hand
[00:18.78] Long stemmed rose and cash in the other
[00:22.59] Got one last kiss on her forehead
[00:25.95] Wonder what she's going to tell mother
[00:29.72] Out the window to the alley
[00:33.19] Join the sidewalk crowd and dissapear
[00:36.83] Catch the last train to Marseilles
[00:43.56] There's not much more to discuss
[00:46.75] There's you and me but there's no us
[00:49.73] So if you would just get out of the way
[00:54.04]
[00:56.21] I'm not sure where I'm going to go
[00:59.26] What I'll do but this I know
[01:02.30] That if I don't write then I'm OK
[01:05.14]
[01:08.26] France is grey and needs a shower
[01:11.60] Waves of fog roll by my window
[01:14.68] And I could sleep for days on end
[01:18.20] But I keep hearing voices that I know
[01:22.41] Strange this train car makes me nervous
[01:25.82] Even though I've got it to myself
[01:29.44] Feels like someone watching me
[01:35.90] I'm sure people have their talks
[01:39.20] Say there's no folks anyone
[01:42.13] But it makes no difference what they say
[01:47.35]
[01:48.35] We had four whole months of fun
[01:51.41] And you don't cook it when you're done
[01:54.42] And if I don't write then I'm okay
[01:58.27] I'm okay I'm okay I'm okay
[02:02.68] I'm okay I'm okay I'm okay
[02:06.98] I'm okay
[02:09.03]
[02:23.14] Saphire earings in the one hand
[02:26.35] Long stem rose and cash in the other
[02:29.84] Got one last kiss on her forehead
[02:33.24] Wonder what she's going to tell mother
[02:36.87] Out the window to the alley
[02:40.08] Join the sidewalk crowd and dissapear
[02:43.65] Catch the last train to Marseilles
[02:50.03] I'm sure people have their talks
[02:53.05] Say there's no folks anyone
[02:56.04] But it makes no difference what they say
[03:01.27]
[03:02.09] We had four whole months of fun
[03:05.16] And you don't cook it when you're done
[03:07.95] And if I don't write then I'm okay
[03:14.07] Some things just fall apart with time
[03:17.02] Stop acting like I committed some crime
[03:20.36] If I don't write
[03:21.80] Then I'm alright
[03:23.62] I'm ok I'm ok I'm ok I'm ok
[03:29.20] I'm ok I'm ok I'm ok
