lyrics

City of Love

Well I was free, and it was easy,
In the bars of the Marais,
I wasn't looking out for you
But love swept us both away

Honey in your kisses
The stars hung up above
The lights were shining bright
In the City of Love.

Well I been drawn, and I've been quartered,
Taken more than my fair share,
Bent over double til I couldn't stand,
Still your convinced that I don't care.

You turned on the honeymoon,
And the stars fell from up above
And the lights have all gone out now
In the City of Love.

In the City of Love, you were like a drug
In the City of Love, you were like a drug.

Born a peacemaker,
Never let the romance die,
I've long enough to know better,
Will I live long enough to know why, to know why

In the City of Love
In the City of Love

Jump the gun, you come undone,
But always give love a shot,
And if the blood pours from the wounds,
Just give it all you've got.

Cos there's honey in your kisses
Stars hang up above
You still keep on believing
In the City of Love.

In the City of Love, you were like a drug
In the City of Love, you were like a drug
In the City of Love, you were like a drug.
