Lyrics

The Artist
I painted the smokey city I painted the country lane
I left my home one Monday determined to make a name
And France is where the artists go
So I gathered my brushes and paint and
I tried all year till I'd cried all my tears now I'm
Bound for England again
Oh Susie I'm back like they said I would be
Back on my bended knees
I've got dreams to mend I'm in need of a friend
Is it too late now to start again
I remember the nights in Paris the lights on the river Siene
That shimmered and played like a sweet serenade
Without even knowing my name
And it seemed I'd lived it all before
The French say it's called deja vous
But I'd trade those lights and the beautiful sights
To share one moment with you
Oh Susie I'm back like they said I would be
Back on my bended knees
I've got dreams to mend I'm in need of a friend
Is it too late now to start again
I know I'll never be famous like Cezanne or Claude Monet and
I'll never buy you a limousine to roll down the Champs Elesse
Oh Susie I'm back like they said I would be
Back on my bended knees
I've got dreams to mend I'm in need of a friend
Is it too late now to start again
