- Wake up in the dark, you wonder if the night is over
- Feel the chill when you roll out of the cover
- Hard not to go back and close your eyes
- Pack up, wash your face, put your stray locks in place
- Under the coat, your fair skin covered in black lace
- Like naked trees dressing the Autumn skies
- Walk into the foggy morning that fills your soul passed the door
- In the light breeze you can smell the wet leaves on the floor
- Summer days seem like a dream now
- And I remember last September when Paris owned my heart
- Like a schoolgirl on the platform waiting for a new start
- Hard to believe a year is gone, somehow
- Je me revois l’été dernier, arpentant les rues parisiennes
- Me demandant si je devrais poser pied pour de bon sur ce quai
- Me demandant si cette ville, si cette vie pouvait être la mienne
- Et plier bagage à nouveau le cœur lourd et inquiet
- And I remember last September when Paris owned my heart
- Like a schoolgirl on the platform waiting for a new start
- Maybe it’s time for me to write you again
