Miles and Miles of Miles Davis

Meeting Juliette Gréco in bed in the afternoon with Miles Davis

In a cheap hotel on Saint-Germain

Seeing them later in love at the Club Tabou

A ghost of New Orleans

Juliette dances with Miles' trumpet

Miles and miles and miles of Miles Davis

Echoes around the room

With Juliette sobbing and moaning the verses

A funeral of sublime passion

"I didn't know he was black," she said

"I don't know why, I just didn't

And when I discovered he was black

I just cried and cried"

Jazz is Paris and Paris is jazz

"So why didn't you sing this song Juliette?" I said

"I can't," Juliette said, "I only sing in French"
