La Fille Sur Le Pont

A Girl on a Bridge There she was, staring into the night Paris lights shimmering in a soft glow Her mind lost, twirling in tears Confusion wrapping her in a warmth of fear She dreams of a knife threw her chest To stab away the darkness of misery She smiles with hope, so close The river flows beneath Blackness so inviting The currents of death to take her away It takes but a leap, of lost hopes and dreams The depths of the river to take your breath away And your last wishes become filled with envy For those who still float above you Many lovers cross the seine Hand in hand in the night Oblivious that all must end Romantic pains, meet their end If you are a girl on a bridge She kissed the river She caressed the shivering night She clung to her emptiness She danced her last fading dance And wedded death, her last embrace
