Gosse De Paris

Kid from Paris
To kiss
We had no room
No cash
Not even a bed
Even if it was broken
Just a patch of green grass
Far from everything
But it was there in the night
We heard the crazy trains scream
Rushing into the unknown, rushing without us
Carrying our hearts to the islands

Kid from Paris
We cried
On the platform of a train station
My friend
As we untangled
Our hands, tightly held
Over a whole romance
Of Paris

I shouldn't have left
I shouldn't have let you go
We had to settle
For a happiness worth a dime

Just for you
Just for me
Just for us
You know
Kid from Paris
It was promised
Neither my heart
Nor my lips
Have lied
If I never wrote to you
It's because the good star
Betrayed me
Believe me, I did what I could
But we won't see the treasure island
Too many years have fallen on me
Too much time away from you, but who cares

Kid from Paris
Kid from my street
Shadow among the shadows
Of the neighborhood
I still love you
Lost friend
From my early childhood
My love
