Allan Taylor Frenchtown song lyrics

Sad song of Frenchtown

harmony and rhyme

blind man walks the street silver cane beating out time

saxoph one plays a haunting tune

magnolia blossom, heavy perfume

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 - a lover's 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 lover 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
