Paris Bells Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

Past the café shutters down, 

No one stirs in the town. 

The morning after the rain 

The barges move on the Seine. 

Down the avenue lined with trees 

Paris bells ring on the breeze 

Paris bells ring on the breeze. 

Dawn is breaking, birds start to sing, 

Sun is rising, warms everything. 

The echo of footsteps on a cobbled street, 

Dim alleyways where the shadows meet.

Down the avenue lined with trees 

Paris bells ring on the breeze 

Paris bells ring on the breeze. 

The places where we used to visit, 

The chapel where we went to wed. 

Paris bells on the breeze 

Often stir memories.

We both knew the morning rain 

We both wandered down the Seine. 

Now you're gone away from me 

You're just a memory 

Like the bells ring on the breeze, 

Paris bells ring on the breeze.
