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
