Pigpen Theatre Co. Grand Old Paris Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Light the streets up like
Gay ol' Paris
Hear the songs they play
For you and me
My weary heart stood
Stalk still, stalk still
While our hips swayed with
Their own free will

[Verse 2]
Lands deserted by
Crashing blue blows
Are nothing like the sight of
Your silver clothes
We won't dance again
My dear, I fear
But the music plays when
We're near, you're near

[Bridge]
And please forgive these hands of mine
For they tremble and un-twine All the knots I've bonded to
The steps that we once knew

[Verse 3]
Shake you're locks free
And bow your bows
Down falls the canopy of your silver crown
Age don't mean a thing
My dear, I fear
As long as music plays when
We're near, you're near

[Verse 4]
Strike the band up and
Play on, play on
Light an hour with the
Soft spoken dawn
My weary heart beat
In time, in tune
Until the music stopped and
Our dance did too
