Sylvie Lewis - Promises of Paris lyrics

He was sitting by the exit sign I should've walked right past him I accepted the invitation Though I never would have asked him He was drowning the future in the past Pouring out promises of Paris in every gla** All the women there are beautiful But the men can be quite rude There's magic floating in the air And s** appeal in the food Nowhere else comes close, though other cities try It was hard to tell the promises of Paris from the lies Trains came and went, days began to slow Dreams from the bottle never let go Leave it all 'til later, tomorrow is a gem Promises are empty I don't have room for them Je ne pourrai pas l'aimer plus Me crois quand je dit Si j'avais restée Je me reperdu avec lui If you're lonely and afraid of what you'll miss You can find promises of Paris in any kiss Now he blames me for his ruin I'm the woman behind his failings He commiserates with barroom girls In between his jailings But I bet you, when he drinks himself to d**h In his last words, there will be promises of Paris on his breath
