Free Behind The Glass French Chanson Lounge Pop Song

Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Seven in the morning on the boulevard
Wiping off the damp glass with a rag
You stop by for the daily paper
Leave a small coin, pull your scarf tight
I hand you the news in the quiet rain
(In the quiet rain)

[Chorus]
And you give me that half-a-second smile
That keeps me standing here a little while
Through the windowpane I watch you cross the street
To the boy with the guitar at your feet
(Ah-ah-ah)
Yeah you walk away with him again

[Verse 2]
He plays his chords out in the chilly square
Wears a faded coat, damp black hair
You laugh at something that he says aloud
And disappear into the morning crowd
I stack the papers back in neat little rows
That’s just the way the river flows

[Chorus]
And you give me that half-a-second smile
That keeps me standing here a little while
Through the windowpane I watch you cross the street
To the boy with the guitar at your feet
(Ah-ah-ah)
Yeah you walk away with him again

[Bridge]
I count the change inside the metal drawer
Listen to the footsteps past my door
I’m just the keeper of the morning news
Watching everybody else choose

[Chorus]
And you give me that half-a-second smile
That keeps me standing here a little while
Through the windowpane I watch you cross the street
To the boy with the guitar at your feet
(Ah-ah-ah)
Yeah you walk away with him again

[Outro]
Wiping off the damp glass with a rag
(With a rag)
Rain on the stone
I stay right here alone
(Mm-mm-mm)
