Mrs Hemingway - Mary Chapin Carpenter[00:00:00]
We packed up our books and our dishes[00:00:28]
Our dreams and your worsted wool suits[00:00:34]
We sailed on the 8th of December[00:00:41]
Farewell old Hudson River[00:00:47]
Here comes the sea[00:00:51]
And love was as new[00:00:56]
And as bright and as true[00:00:59]
When I loved you and you loved me[00:01:03]
Two steamer trunks in the carriage[00:01:12]
Safe arrival we cabled back home[00:01:18]
It was just a few days before Christmas[00:01:25]
We filled our stockings with wishes[00:01:31]
And walked for hours[00:01:35]
Arm and arm through the rain [00:01:39]
To the glassed-in cafe[00:01:43]
That held us like hot house flowers[00:01:47]
Living in Paris in attics and garrets[00:01:53]
Where the coal merchants climb every stair[00:01:59]
The dance hall next door[00:02:05]
Is filled with sailors and whores[00:02:08]
And the music floats up through the air[00:02:11]
There's Sancerre and oysters [00:02:18]
Cathedrals and cloisters[00:02:21]
And time with its unerring aim[00:02:24]
For now we can say we were lucky most days[00:02:30]
And throw a rose into the Seine[00:02:36]
Love is the greatest deceiver[00:02:46]
It hollows you out like a drum[00:02:52]
And suddenly nothing is certain[00:02:58]
As if all the clouds closed the curtains[00:03:05]
And blocked the sun[00:03:10]
And friends now are strangers[00:03:14]
In this city of dangers[00:03:17]
As cold and as cruel as they come[00:03:20]
Sometimes I look at old pictures[00:03:55]
And smile at how happy we were[00:04:01]
How easy it was to be hungry[00:04:07]
It wasn't for fame or for money[00:04:14]
It was for love[00:04:18]
Now my copper hair's grey[00:04:23]
As the stone on the quay[00:04:26]
In the city where magic was[00:04:29]
Living in Paris in attics and garrets[00:04:36]
Where the coal merchants climb every stair[00:04:42]
The dance hall next door[00:04:49]
Is filled with sailors and whores[00:04:51]
And the music floats up through the air[00:04:55]
There's Sancerre and oysters [00:05:01]
And Notre Dame's cloisters[00:05:04]
And time with its unerring aim[00:05:07]
And now we can say[00:05:14]
We were lucky most days[00:05:17]
And throw a rose into the Seine[00:05:20]
And now I can say[00:05:26]
I was lucky most days[00:05:29]
And throw a rose into the Seine[00:05:33]
