Description

 * "Le feu qui embrase le coeur d'une femme ne devrait jamais avoit pour origine un briquet? Two packs of Gauloises sit on her table. Henri the bartender shares his re-assuring smile, Colette, the cashier who's seen it all suddenly sees nothing. And finally, Rene, the king of the accordion, floats his fingers along the keys of a chanson melacholie in this tribute to the land of hurt. He'll be back, she says, as she flits her fingers together to let Henri know she'd like another brandy...or three..."

Lyrics
Three o'clock on a late Sunday morning The candles have burned to their end Found the pictures we've taken And now I'm awaken and Sleep's my invisible friend

So I'm staring the hands off my wall clock Seems both of us just hang around Got no one to warm me And nothing to hold My body needs what it don't have

Without him, I really don't mind A little bit lonely He'll make up in time As long as he loves me He'll answer his crime The door stays wide open I know that he's mine

The tracks of my tears keep on freezin' I'm melting the cold in the halls I feel like I'm drownin' There's no one around And now I'm just climbing the walls

Perhaps if I played the seductress A passionate woman of guile He'd be here in a minute The heat won't diminish He'd wear nothing more than a smile

Without him, I really don't mind A little bit lonely He'll make up in time As long as he loves me He'll answer his crime The door stays wide open I know that he's mine

Charlie keep singin' that chanson Your words always make so much sense And though they're in French I've got no defense I know that I'm reaching the end

So, rumours, keep flying around me It's you I refuse to believe He's right round the corner He knows that I'm home now And nobody calls me naive

Without him, I really don't mind A little bit lonely He'll make up in time As long as he loves me He'll answer his crime The door stays wide open I know that he's mine
