Dylan Mondegreen Broken French Lyrics

i made landfall on your coastline
where no language barriers
could hold back your smile
and you blushed when
i mumbled out some words in broken french

you whispered so softly, with none to translate
i didn't mind, i didn't mind at all
i felt sure that the message you tried to convey
was a lush declaration of love

now i'm looking for a lifeline
a manoeuvre to pull out of this nosedive
cause you left me,
with promises as broken as my french you whispered so softly, with none to translate
i didn't mind, i didn't mind at all
i felt sure that the message you tried to convey
was a lush declaration of love

i remember your words,
as we parted misty-eyed
under a southerly sky
then i thought you were sad
now from all the dictionaries i have read,
i've realized
on the last day,
you really broke my heart
in perfect french
