Frenchman for the Night

[Verse 1]
From his driftwood castle
Comes a song I've heard before
Scratchy gramophone cuts to the bone
"La Vie En Rose" arpeggios

[Verse 2]
So the dream begins
And the song is amplified
Buy the Beaujolais on Bastille Day
He dances in the tide

[Chorus]
By the light of the moon
He's a Frenchman for the night
By the light of the moon
It'll be alright

[Verse 3]
Well, it takes him back
To the days of love and war
And the girl he knew with eyes of blue
Waiting on the shore

[Verse 4]
If he'd only known
How the years would fly on by
Such a simple crime, he's run out of time
So he reaches for the sky

[Chorus]
By the light of the moon
He's a Frenchman for the night
By the light of the moon
It'll be alright

[Bridge]
Blame it on the Champs Elysees
Blame it on a tune
Blame it on the stroke of Monet
But you can't escape the moon

[Verse 5]
He sees the stars above
As the floor to heaven's light
While the angels taunt, "C'est une nuit blanche"
He's a Frenchman for the night

[Verse 1]
From a driftwood castle
Comes a song I've heard before
A scratchy gramophone cuts to the bone
"La Vie En Rose" arpeggios

[Chorus]
By the light of the moon
He's a Frenchman for the night
By the light of the moon
It'll be alright
