Under the Mirabeau Bridge runs the Seine

Under the Mirabeau Bridge flows the Seine

And our love

Of our loves

I must bring to mind once again

And must I be reminded of them when

That joy always came after pain

What joy we had forever came with pain

Cometh the night chimeth the hour

The hours chime as night follows day

The days go on I lack power

Days go by while I stay

Hands joined face to face each of us abides

We’ll wait hands in hands face facing face

Whilst beneath

As under the

The bridge our arms form slides

Bridge of our arms the empty space lets pass

The weary water of love forever's tides

A wave weary of our eternal gaze

Cometh the night chimeth the hour

The hours chime as night follows day

The days go on I lack power

Days go by while I stay

Love passes like this running stream

Love slips away like this water’s flow

Love takes its leave

It must go

Life is a dream

Because life is too slow

And Hope a dangerous extreme

And hope is violence and vertigo

Cometh the night chimeth the hour

The hours chime as night follows day

The days go on I lack power

Days go by while I stay

On go the days and on go weeks again

Days drag on and weeks drag on

Not time gone by

Neither can

Nor love can one regain

Time past return nor loves gone

Under the Mirabeau Bridge runs the Seine

Under the Mirabeau Bridge flows the Seine

Cometh the night chimeth the hour

The days go on I lack power
