"Grande Affaire" lyrics
"Grande Affaire"
Take a bus, who needs a car
We'll eat here, take this seat near the door
Well, I'm not hungry much now, are you?
Is it ok if I share yours with you?
I've got no money and I think I believe that you knew
Remember the moon on the wall, didn't she shine?
The taste of the sheets and the feel of the wine
Wasn't I glad that you was mine
In the grande affaire?
Take a boat, maybe a plane
Anywhere now, 'cept Greece or Spain
For sure, I know where I am
I see canals, this is Amsterdam
I got friends here and they know, they can say who I am
Remember the room without any view?
Frightened of meeting someone that we knew
No farewells or how-do-you-dos
In the grande affaire
Now I've stayed in all the best hotels
And there's white coated waiters attend me
And I look at the beautiful girls
Do they really believe they can bend me?
Well, I drive now seldom I walk
I can speak french, but I'd rather not talk
Which suit will I wear tonight?
Take out the brown, but in the end wear the white
After shade stepping out stepping into the light
Remember the moon on the wall didn't she shine
The year was all wrong so we sent back the wine
Wasn't you glad that you was mine
In the grande affaire?

You know that I love you true

Mary Black - "The Dimming Of The Day" This old house is falling down around my ears
I'm drowning in a river of my tears
When all my will is gone you hold me sway
I need you at the dimming of the day
You pull me like the moon pulls on...
Joan Baez - "Brothers In Arms" These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in...
Nanci Griffith - "Boots Of Spanish Leather" Oh, I'm sailing away, my own true love
I'm sailing away in the morning
Is there something I can send you from across the sea?
From the place where I'll be landing?
There's nothing you can send me,...
Eva Cassidy - "Over The Rainbow" Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
In the land that I heard of once, once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true...
