Light Treason - The Last Lover in Paris Lyrics

I found a lover in Paris
With greenish eyes and brown hair
By the Seine she was reading
In the crisp morning air
Little freckles on her little nose
And that nose in Voltaire
I didn't speak a word
Just whispered a prayer
Her name was beautiful
She was named for a queen
I knew I just had to ask and
Hoped she'd know what I mean
Won't you

"Come walk down the wooded path
I will keep you safe
I don't know who I am yet
But my heart I must obey
Kick up some cobblestones
When there is nothing left to say
I don't know who I am yet
But my heart I must obey
And we can dance on Billy Shake's grave
And we can dance on Billy Shake's grave"

I had the last lover in Paris
And like Casanova fled the scene
Our hearts were young and wild
And everything in between
I had the last lover in Pair-e
But did you wait for me?
I am not a jealous man
How could I be?
When I had the last lover in Paris
Dressed up on a balcony
Our song interwove
Into sweet harmony
And we sang

I cried outside of Paris
By the old cedar trees
Our love song was rewrote
Into a eulogy
Now I'm back from Paris
Can you forgive me?
I was strange in a strange land
And so lonely
My thoughts were on you
If only in my mind's back
I'll forget those times, forget those eyes
If you'd let me unpack

I still think of Paris
Even when I lie with you
Our love was made to die young
Innocent and true
