- Cherbourg Lyrics / with translationsAnd a fall from here
Is a long way down
I've found a better way out
And a fall from here
Is a long way down
I know a better way out
Well, it's been a long time
Since I've seen you smile
Gambles away my fright
Till the morning lights shine
It's been a long time
Since I've seen you smile
Gambles away my fright
Till the morning lights shine
Sunday morning
Only fog on the limbs
I called it again
What do you know
And I filled our days
With cards and gin
You're alright again, my dear
I will lead the way
Oh, lead the way when I know
And I'll sleep away
I'll sweep away what I don't
Well, seize the way
Oh, seize the way, no, I won't
I will lead the way
Oh, lead the day when I know
Is a long way down
I've found a better way out
And a fall from here
Is a long way down
I know a better way out
Well, it's been a long time
Since I've seen you smile
Gambles away my fright
Till the morning lights shine
It's been a long time
Since I've seen you smile
Gambles away my fright
Till the morning lights shine
Sunday morning
I called it again
What do you know
And I filled our days
With cards and gin
You're alright again, my dear
I will lead the way
Oh, lead the way when I know
And I'll sleep away
I'll sweep away what I don't
Well, seize the way
Oh, seize the way, no, I won't
I will lead the way
Oh, lead the day when I know
