Paris 12

[Verse 1]
Somewhere by the corner stove
I said the words that I was told
Ecstatic, scared and daring to believe

[Verse 2]
Death and dearness down in streams
Magnets and strawberry dreams
Follow every god and every grief

[Verse 3]
Laughed and shaking in the cold
Love or taking, I don't know
Stumbling in the silent Annecy

[Verse 4]
Careful creatures they can be
But stroke their skin and scrape their knees
And say it's hard to say before you leave

[Verse 5]
Paris makes me feel alone
But yours is something of its own
I'm clawing every crevice in the car

[Verse 6]
Don't be guilty, don't be brusque
It's not a thing that you can lose
The girl I am, the galaxy you are

[Bridge]
Up to every honest hour
Some were truths and some were far removed
I've heared
Tried and tired's what you know
But me a quiet souvenir to hold
Well here

[Verse 7]
Don't be guilty, don't be brusque
It's not a thing that you can lose
The girl I am, the galaxy you are
