The Mirabeau Bridge

Under the Mirabeau Bridge flows the Seine

Of our loves

And must I be reminded of them when

What joy we had forever came with pain

The hours chime as night follows day

Days go by while I stay

We’ll wait hands in hands face facing face

As under the

Bridge of our arms the empty space lets pass

A wave weary of our eternal gaze

The hours chime as night follows day

Days go by while I stay

Love slips away like this water’s flow

It must go

Because life is too slow

And hope is violence and vertigo

The hours chime as night follows day

Days go by while I stay

Days drag on and weeks drag on

Neither can

Time past return nor loves gone

Under the Mirabeau Bridge flows the Seine
