Paroles de Sainte Marie

Just one more song
And the lights go down
Singing for money
In a cafe in Tarascon
I got a ticket in my pocket
To take me back
It?s been six weeks of rolling
Down a one way track
Somebody gave me your address
They said I?d like you
You were a singer
I took a train back south
With an open mind
I just had to be here one more time.
Give me two good reasons
For going home
I?ve seen the passing of the seasons And I still don?t know
I?ve been from Toulouse to Caissi Down to Sainté Marie
Where the shadows of summer
Are holding me.
Lying on our backs
Singing honey sweet
We?ve got the cool hand of autumn
Laughing at our head and feet
Shy like the colours in a dying sky
I?m wishing for kissing I can?t leave you now
Hands across the table
Hands through my hair
Hands on the wheel turning in the air
Give me two good reasons
For going home
I?ve seen the passing of the seasons And I still don?t know
I?ve been from Toulouse to Caissi Down to Sainté Marie
Where the shadows of summer
The best time I?ve known
And a piece of your soul
Are holding me.
