Lyrics
SNCF to Paris, a week-end away
Your accented English, well I don't know Francais,
Though I'm only talking, of course it could be the wine,
I had one or two beats of your heart,
You had a couple of mine.
Four a.m. I was wasted, on life and champagne,
You looked so wonderful, and I felt the same,
and though I'm only talking, I might have been spinning a line,
I had one or two beats of your heart,
You had a couple of mine.
I wonder if I told you, more than once tonight,
If I did'nt I'm sorry girl, I'm gonna put it right,
I was so uncertain, when I kissed you for the first time,
But I stole away your heart, you went and stole mine.
I caught the last boat to England, a lifetime away,
The hardest part was when, we stood on the quai,
And though I'm only talking, when I left you for the last time,
I had one or two beats of your heart,
You had a couple of mine.
