Sad song of frenchtown
Hamony and rhyme
Blind man walks the street
silver cane beating out time
Saxophone plays a haunting tune
Magnolia blossom, heavy perfume
He stands by the window
looking out of the street
A dark-skinned lady lies in his bed resstless in the heat
She smiles in her sleep and quietly sights
Hanging on to promises and lovers' 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
Shadows are fading
the sun is starting to rise
He lies beside her and kisses her eyes
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
Sad song of frenchtown
Hamony and rhyme
Blind man walks the street
silver cane beating out time
Saxophone plays a haunting tune
Magnolia blossom, heavy perfume
