Callum - This Grey Old Shipping Town lyrics

[Co-written with Audrey Lebon] I sing this song of how I met a French girl on top of the hill Là-bas, le paysage est si beau Et si tranquille I live a life of ennui Under this northern sky I just laze on Je veux retourner à la maison I never thought that I would find A girl like her Bringing down daffodils To this grey old shipping town Where the rain's always pissing down We met just a couple of weeks ago Now we're going out I said how fast this has gone A bit overwhelming Je suis d'accord We've got things in common like Politique, spiritualité, féminisme But then I say “oh, can you see the rainbow over there?” Oui, mais laisse-moi le temps de… comprendre But we both like the guitar The chords and melodies in F major pentatonic In this grey old shipping town Where the rain's always pissing down Audrey Lebon, that was her name And she's to blame From the day I first met her Things were never quite the same I lived a life of ennui Under this northern sky I just lazed on Mais en mai, je retourne à la maison I never thought that I would find A girl like her Dans cette campagne reculée Tout près des bois
