Dominique Songtext

von Jan Allain

Dominique in Paris, smoking your
Pipe at your big grand piano
I think of you each winter
Snow in Monmartre
I met you in summer
Way down in Toulouse
Yeh, you unbuttoned my shoes
And we danced to the music.

Martine in Nice
Your bed was so nice
With your pink and white pillows
I think I lost my way
Under your sheets
I came up in Rio
It's such a long way
From the tip of your nose
To your mouth
Was I east, west or north or south?

Take me to France again
All that romance again
Rolling and reeling
And going too far
Loving was easy then
Living was everything
Dressed up like Dylan
With my new guitar.

Consuello in Le Havre
I got the photograph
Of the moment after
I'm sorry you were shocked
When I locked you in
But it was worth all the laughter
It's such a long way
From the balcony down to your pool
But your landing was very cool.

Take me to France again
All that romance again
Rolling and reeling
And going too far
Loving was easy then
Living was everything
Dressed up like Dylan
My heart was just spinning
With all those french women
And my new guitar.
