LYRIC FOR SALE

By Carl Turner

We said goodbye in Paris,
But you broke my heart in Budapest
I turned, but you’d walked away,
Without a thought it seemed.
You didn’t stop, didn’t look back
Couldn’t be any clearer than a goodbye

You had been the making of me
I was right where I wanted to be
Even though I knew you would leave
I couldn’t help but believe
That you and I were meant to be
I loved you by the side of me

And I knew but didn’t want to believe
I knew but didn’t want to see
Even though it was plain to me
That we’d said goodbye for the last time
I had dreamt that I heard wedding bells
In my future, in our future
London, Paris, and Budapest
Taking you further away from me

The water on the ground glistens in the sun
Autumnal leaves tan and bronze upon the ground
Near your flat in a brick and grey northern port
I feel like a distant sailor in our days apart
We are walking hand in hand, I can see the joy in your face
I hold onto this moment, I’m close by your side

And I knew but didn’t want to believe
I knew but didn’t want to see.
Even though it was plain to me,
That we’d said goodbye for the last time
I had dreamt that I heard wedding bells
In my future, in our future
London, Paris, and Budapest
Taking you further away from me

But we’ll always have Paris
Always have Paris
Always have Paris
Always have Paris
