paroles de chanson Folk Song 10 - Paris Street

On the road out of St Louis after a much-debated choice
And my tears did not dry until I was halfway through Illinois
It was the first week of December and I had no clue where I was going
But, at the moment, certainty seemed less appealing than not knowing

We had dangerously perfected the art of being aloof
We could blame it on my stubbornness or blame it on your youth
Someday I hope to find out how we failed so miserably
And I still think that you're wonderful, it just was not meant to be

There was no other incentive to remain in this drab town
You were my only friend there, my only reason for sticking 'round
But friends can be friends anywhere, distance is not as big an issue
And though we part, I hope you'll understand
Just how ridiculously I'll miss you

It's just a boy and girl departing, you know it happens all the time
There are far more sadder memories that take precedent in my mind
Like the error made in Little League that cost my team the game
Or the college nervous breakdown when my dreams of film school waned
Or the way that my dog died
Or the day I made mom cry
What is one more goodbye?

So farewell to St Louis and farewell to you, my dear
I can't think of any circumstance that would bring me back here
I wish nothing but the best for you and I hope that you continue
To live your life as beautifully as you did while I was with you
