La Bastille
Les Chansons D'Amour Soundtrack
The Bastille
It's pouring down on the genius
Of the Bastille square
We're walking under a gray sky
Pierced by thousands of needles
It's pouring down on the genius
The clouds too heavy let go
Water for the people of Paris
For the naked angel on the column
On the horizon from our windows
Nothing moves, nothing lives
As Paris seems to disappear
Diluted in the rainwater
On the horizon, the sky undone
The dripping angel takes shape
We wish to love each other forever
Under this rain that never ends
It's still pouring on the genius
Of the Bastille square
Drinking tea all afternoon
On those chamomile Sundays
It's pouring down on the genius
Who would have thought that so little water
Would scare away the people of Paris
Leaving the angel too lonely and too high
On the horizon from our windows
Nothing moves, nothing lives
As Paris seems to disappear
Diluted in the rainwater
On the horizon, the sky undone
The dripping angel takes shape
We wish to love each other forever
Under this rain that never ends
Hum hu hu hum hu hu hum
It's always pouring on the genius
Of the Bastille square
We lie down before midnight
In warm sheets we scatter
It's always pouring on the genius
We pull out family meals
The dripping angel in the night
Spreads its wings over the Bastille
