Shawn Phillips - Parisien Plight II lyrics

Phillips Oh, the city of a lover was a crystal j**el as it lay 'neath the wing And I was on my way to a love so true That I wanted to shout and sing My mind raced ahead of that double-armed jet As it roared through the open sky, yeah And all that I could think of was holding you Then and hearing your gentle sighs Your breath and your kiss could take away Well all of this mental strife I'd been away for two long weeks, Lord, it seemed, seemed like all of my life Oh my lady fair, we made love right there And now you do not care And I don't want to have to bear the thought The thought, the thought, the thought Of you not, no, being there And I do not want to be Don't ever want to be left alone You know, you know it's making me feel so sad Make me feel bad These lights in the city were burning bright And I was comin' in at 18,000 feet And I knew that you were going to be there And I just couldn't keep in my, I couldn't keep in my seat, yeah I knew that you wanted to see me Like I wanted to see you too When I got there the place was bare And I could not believe it was true I came back that very same day And I stayed long into the night How I wished that you could be there I wished with all of my might Oh my lady fair, we made love right there And now you do not care And I don't want to have to bear the thought The thought, the thought, the thought Of you not, no, being there And I do not want to be Don't ever want to be left alone You know, you know it's making me feel so sad Make me feel bad Oh, the city of a lover was a crystal j**el as it lay 'neath the wing And I was on my way to a love so true That I wanted to shout and sing My mind raced ahead of that double-armed jet As it roared through the open sky, yeah And all that I could think of was holding you Then and hearing your gentle sighs Your breath and your kiss could take away Well all of this mental strife I'd been away for two long weeks, Lord, it seemed, seemed like all of my life Oh my lady fair, we made love right there And now you do not care And I don't want to have to bear the thought The thought, the thought, the thought Of you not, no, being there And I do not want to be Don't ever want to be left alone You know, you know it's making me feel so sad Make me feel bad These lights in the city were burning bright And I was comin' in at 18,000 feet And I knew that you were going to be there And I just couldn't keep in my, I couldn't keep in my seat, yeah I knew that you wanted to see me Like I wanted to see you too When I got there the place was bare And I could not believe it was true I came back that very same day And I stayed long into the night How I wished that you could be there I wished with all of my might Oh my lady fair, we made love right there And now you do not care And I don't want to have to bear the thought The thought, the thought, the thought Of you not, no, being there And I do not want to be Don't ever want to be left alone You know, you know it's making me feel so sad Make me feel bad
