Paris Night Songtext
von Imogen and the Knife

A cold Paris night
Keep you awake, for a while at least
I′ve missed your smile
I'm glad we′re here, not at home, on this bleak weekend
Tomorrow I'll take you to Saint Chapelle
I long to see your face when you look up
I'm so glad we′re here
Sharing clothes, sharing makeup
It′s what I wished for on your first birthday

I know they have plans for you
But can we stay in this bedsit for two?
Not really sure what to do with my time
How can I elongate Paris with you?


I'm sorry we had to fly
I know you hate that and so should I
God you′re too good
I hope they know
I'll let them know
Who do I write to?
I cup your hand, once so small
Still, we are, against Joni and the heart-marked trees
It′s just me and just you
At the very root of ourselves

I know they have plans for you
But can we stay in this bedsit for two?
Not really sure what to do with my time
How can I elongate Paris with you?

[I just want you to say you won't be a stranger
Don′t be a stranger]

A cold Paris night
Keep you awake for a while
At least
