Paroles de Eastern Nights
In my twisted arms, you fell asleepAs the cathedral bells rang out
Over the chimney pots of Harcourt street
I watched the dribs and drabs attending masses
Those genuflecting heads
Polishing their reading glasses
I watched you sleeping as evening turned to night
But in the morning, you left me traveling to Cambodia
So long, little darling, we’ll meet again on the road
I heard through a friend of a friend
You were dancing in a multicultural burlesque show
Here’s to you, my love
Those eastern nights, they’ll take some beating
Though my drunken professions of love
They didn’t stop you from leaving
Those eastern nights, they left me bitter
And for love nor money
You’d stay with me with, honey
For love nor money
Stay with me
For love nor money
You’d stay with me
For love nor money, you’d stay
Arm in arm down Bachelors Walk I swore
That I’d put your past to one side
Ah well, here’s to you, my love
Those eastern nights, they’ll take some beating
Your collection of beautiful lies
I ate them up and gave thanks for inspiring the spieling
Those eastern nights, they left me bitter
And for love nor money, you’d stay with me, honey
For love nor money, you’d stay
For love nor money, you’d stay with me, honey
For love nor money, you’d stay with me
For love nor money, you’d stay with me, honey
For love nor money, stay with me
For love nor money, you’d stay with me, honey
And for love nor money, you’d stay
