Under the Mirabeau Bridge flows the Seine

Under the Mirabeau Bridge runs the Seine

Of our loves

And our love

And must I be reminded of them when

I must bring to mind once again

What joy we had forever came with pain

That joy always came after pain

The hours chime as night follows day

Cometh the night chimeth the hour

Days go by while I stay

The days go on I lack power

We’ll wait hands in hands face facing face

Hands joined face to face each of us abides

As under the

Whilst beneath

Bridge of our arms the empty space lets pass

The bridge our arms form slides

A wave weary of our eternal gaze

The weary water of love forever's tides

The hours chime as night follows day

Cometh the night chimeth the hour

Days go by while I stay

The days go on I lack power

Love slips away like this water’s flow

Love passes like this running stream

It must go

Love takes its leave

Because life is too slow

Life is a dream

And hope is violence and vertigo

And Hope a dangerous extreme

The hours chime as night follows day

Cometh the night chimeth the hour

Days go by while I stay

The days go on I lack power

Days drag on and weeks drag on

On go the days and on go weeks again

Neither can

Not time gone by

Time past return nor loves gone

Nor love can one regain

Under the Mirabeau Bridge flows the Seine

Under the Mirabeau Bridge runs the Seine

Cometh the night chimeth the hour

The days go on I lack power
