The Flood At Lyons Lyrics - Azure D'or - Renaissance

You lie in peaceful slumbers 

But yet so proud 

So safe the second city 

Houses reach the skyline and 

Far below the narrow streets that sing 

With the movement of the crowd 

No break from daily changes 

As life goes on 

Secure as French men can be 

Fill your time with love and wine 

And in your heart you'll know as long as you 

There will always be a song 

Then on a winter's day 

With your face against the cold and rain 

In the wind there's changes 

The rivers rise 

The water grips the town - tears fill her eyes 

Chorus: 

I'm standing here which way to go 

The crossroads call, but they don't know 

Midnight, caught inside 

I'm standing here, could all be lost 

The crossroads call 

You've stood so long 

It weaves the strangest picture 

Of silky thread 

The shadows cast reflection 

Lyons as the water's bed 

Trees that stand look straight ahead 

And search for a sight of distant land 

This was a winter's day 

In your heart you felt the cold and rain 

Change the wind to silence 

There's not a sound 

Silver patterns run and dance 

Upon the ground 

Chorus
