Track Insight / Lyrics
In the ville lumière's quiet hours
The copper vane polishes to light
Terrasse tables shine like mirrors
As solo stools cast long silhouettes tonight
The Seine's soft gurgle, wind's life sigh
Nestle beside passion and faded pride
Golden hour's last timid light
Paints the rooftops in inclined flight
Oh Parisian soleil, fleeting and fair
Noon's dreams fade fast in your golden hair
Up, up, forever flying by
Oh, soleil, where shadows stretch and sigh
Bistro patrons sip their petit vermouth
Cézanne's apples sit upon the plâteau
Hansom cabs clip-clop on cobblestones
As rainmakers march with awnings, incognito alone
Gas lamps flicker, sparks, and dance
Elegant ghosts weaving chance
The city's pulse is intimately known
As duets with night's arrivals shown
Oh Parisian soleil, fleeting and fair
Noon's dreams fade fast in your golden hair
Up, up, forever flying by
Oh, soleil, where shadows stretch and sigh
Lovebirds coo on balconies high
Tango steps sway under twinkling sky
Polished boots and worn and weary feet
Bear the weight of the city's secrets, sweet
Spilled rosé on the cobbled ground
Stories shared among the shadows round
Sirens wail while the vane turns round
A gilded bell for voyagers unbound
Oh Parisian soleil, fleeting and fair
Noon's dreams fade fast in your golden hair
Up, up, forever flying by
Oh, soleil, where shadows stretch and sigh
As tubercular artists with laurels bold
Pursue their next meal, stories untold
Fleeting fame and fortune's call
A painter's palette on the wall
Street performers weave their magic spell
As the soleil slips from its bell
And the vane's pole casts its long shadow blue
Over the city, what's to pursue?
Dreams shatter like antique china fine
As night's cool kiss begins its climb
The copper vane awaits tomorrow's new light
Chasing soleil, where shadows take flight
In Paris, the solace of the day
Echoes with the sighs of love that strayed
While the soleil leaves the city's stage
Leaving night's veils with deepened age
Oh Parisian soleil, fleeting and fair
Noon's dreams fade fast in your golden hair
Up, up, forever flying by
Oh, soleil, where shadows stretch and sigh
Oh Parisian soleil, fleeting and fair
Noon's dreams fade fast in your golden hair
Up, up, forever flying by
Oh, soleil, where shadows stretch and sigh
Silence swells, a haiku of space
answers of love, a forgotten ace
The city sleeps, a secret share
As shadowed rooftops fade, without a care
