Friendly people
But I can t make out all the words
Melodies so sweet through all the trees
From different birds
All around me
Sights and sounds and songs I ve never heard
Swearing I ll be back again
One more week might do me in

And I stop to catch my breath
On the slippery steps of Angoul me
And with my little finger
Across the town I write your name

I can t stop drinking the wine
Can t stop counting the days
A world apart, an ocean away
Just loving you baby
Sittin here, loving you
From this little French caf

Oh, yeah
Turn the bed down, baby
Pray that jumbo plane s gonna bring me back
Got roses and bazaracs
Six Bordeauxs all in a sack
We may know some scrapes
But some things we won t ever lack
All the fields of Beaujolais
Couldn t buy you anyway
Couldn t buy you babe

Oh
And I stop to catch my breath
On the mighty steps of Angoul me
And with my little finger
Across the town I write your name

I can t stop drinking the wine
I can t stop counting the days
A world apart, an ocean away
Just loving you baby
Sittin here, loving you
From this little French

All the oysters in Marennes
Whole French army and Charles de Gaulle
A million Francs wouldn t phase me at all
From loving you baby
Sittin here loving you
From this little French caf
Sittin here loving you
From this little French caf
