"Mirabeau Bridge"   Sam Larkin

I went down to see the morning
When the shutters all were drawn
And the sidewalk tables empty
and the laughing voices gone
And from some upstairs window
In the blue and grey of dawn
Came the faded sound of somebody
Who played my song

I had a dream and I gave it a name
The name that I gave it was your name
I had a dream and I gave it a name
The name that I gave it was your name

I was fighting phantom windmills
Made of nothing left to do
But live among the shadows
Of the days I made it through
With lies and false pretences
That tomorrow would be new
And it was, cause, just like a dream
I discovered you

I had a dream and I gave it a name
The name that I gave it was your name
I had a dream and I gave it a name
The name that I gave it was your name

And the Mirabeau Bridge is crowded
With the ones who love the night
And the river laughing endlessly
Like the wild cafe life
Full of words from every language
Across the candle light
As it shines like love in the eyes
That I meet tonight

I had a dream and I gave it a name
The name that I gave it was your name
I had a dream and I gave it a name
The name that I gave it was your name
