A Waltz for Paris Lyrics

[00:29.27] As I sit by myself at this smoky old bar
[00:34.32] My thoughts gather up and I gaze at the stars
[00:39.29] History tells what this city has seen
[00:43.73] In thousands of movies, you've been on the screen
[00:48.42] Well, well, on my French holiday
[00:58.47] The Eagles of Death Metal, they were playing Le Bataclan
[01:03.09] The music was loud but this evening was damned
[01:07.80] Insanity and chaos, a crack in the wall
[01:12.61] A study of violence, humanities fall
[01:17.22] I sing my song for you
[01:22.02] A waltz for Paris
[01:26.80] Your soul is ready to fly
[01:31.69] A waltz for Paris
[01:36.46] At the end of the day
[01:38.86] The spirit will never die
[01:44.28]
[01:46.74] Well, you've had to face both pleasure and pain
[01:51.01] Rebellion and lust and blood spilled in vain
[01:55.77] And time will foretell 'bout the future to come
[02:00.61] And what have we learned of this damage done
[02:04.82] On my way from my French holiday
[02:15.04] The German tanks came rolling, no one could believe their eyes
[02:19.84] The world was at stake in the war of our times
[02:24.61] But nothing has really changed, still we stand here on the edge
[02:29.25] But Paris, oh Paris, your beauty is clear
[02:33.98] So live on without fear
[02:38.83] A waltz for Paris
[02:43.56] Your soul is ready to fly
[02:48.45] A waltz for Paris
[02:53.19] At the end of the day
[02:55.52] Your spirit won't die
[02:58.06] A waltz for Paris
[03:02.87] Your soul is ready to fly
[03:07.65] A waltz for Paris
[03:12.36] At the end of the day
[03:14.80] The spirit will never die
[03:20.22]
[04:00.47] As I sit by myself at this smoky old bar
[04:05.43] My thoughts gather up and I gaze at the stars
[04:11.20] History tells what this city has seen
[04:14.47] In thousands of movies, you've been on the screen
[04:19.65] Well, well, on my last holiday
[04:28.02] I sing
[04:29.20] A waltz for Paris
[04:34.05] Your soul is ready to fly
[04:38.71] A waltz for Paris
[04:43.58] At the end of the day
[04:45.91] Your spirit won't die
[04:48.46] A waltz for Paris
[04:53.28] Your soul is ready to fly
[04:58.09] A waltz for Paris
[05:02.87] At the end of the day
[05:05.20] The spirit will never die
[05:08.62]
