Our Paris fell still in our hearts
I loved you only that time in the car
Your hands entwined in mine
Won't stop the time
You were a basket case
I was the king of the masquerade
Slowing down, keep from the edge
I always do
The first time you took me in
Midnight song touched your lamp lit skin
The rain never chased us away
In our valiant charade
Your mother was kind to me
I played her a song in a minor key
Tears hit her dress, but I was sure it was nothing to you
Love won't you come slow
Lavender creeping in through the window
Time, make up your mind
Stretch your hands cross the billowing sky
We drove down an hour too late
You started smoking a quarter to eight
You said if you were to die
It'd be on time
I called you a narcissist
You said without me you wouldn't exist
I'm holding your head, you talk of books
You never have read
Love won't you come slow
Lavender creeping in through the window
Time, make up your mind
Stretch your hands cross the billowing sky
I won't write the end of our song
I'll play it forever and on and on
The words may change but there's no changing you
We landed in Paris again
Our novel opens ready to begin
Streams of sky, you smile wide I'm close to you
I'm close to you
I'm close to you, so close to you
Love won't you come slow
Lavender creeping in through the window
Time, make up your mind
Stretch your hands cross the billowing sky
