i was only searching for you
we didn’t have much time
then i saw you blind to everything
but the beautiful grime
you showed me landmarks famous statues
and all the time i could see
with every café and tiny bookshop
you were further from me

it’s all my fault
i should have known
i should hove seen
she’d fall in love
but with the city
not with me

i’m in the station
the train is waiting
will you leave with me
there’s a commotion
a woman running
but you’re nowhere to be seen
so don’t take your
love to paris
unless you’re sure of her heart
it’s all a question
of understanding
the city may rip you apart

it’s all my fault
i should have known
i should have seen
she’d fall in love
but with the city
not with me
