Lyrics
We met when I was just seventeen
I loved you before
You're driving through the streets of Marseilles
Your angry, I'm bored
The rain is bucketing down
I long to stray
What's this? You think the car's broken down.
You're walking away.
Tu dois me quitter tout a l'heure. On dirait qu'il pleut dans tes yeuse.*
Do you like the rain? Would you like to be alone?
Tell me ... What's taking you so long on that emergency telephone?
I'm starting the car. Are you waving me on?
I'm driving through the driving rain
I look back... You're gone.
We met when I was far too young
I love you no more
I'm driving through the streets of Marseilles
Your gestures ignored.
The rain has turned to hail now
You'll wish I'd stayed
Au revoir, unfortunate one
I'm driving away.
*Francis Carco - street poet
