Lyrics for He Went To Paris by Jimmy Buffett:
| | | Artist: | Jimmy Buffett |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | He Went To Paris | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 73 | | | | Lyrics: | He went to Paris
looking for answers
to questions that bothered him so
He was
impressive,
young and aggressive,
saving the world on his own
Warm summer
breezes
and french wines and cheeses
put his ambitions at bay
summers and
winters
scattered like splinters
and four or five years slipped away
He went to
England
played the piano
and married an actress named Kim
they had a fine
life
she was a good wife
and bore him a young son named Jim
and all of the
answers
to all of the questions
locked in his attic one day
he liked the
quiet
clean country living
and twenty more years slipped away
well, the war
took his baby
bombs killed his lady
and left him with only one eye
his body was
battered
his whole world was shattered
and all he could do was just cry
while
the tears were a' fallin'
he was recallin'
the answers he never found
so he hopped on
a freighter
skidded the ocean
and left England without a sound
Now he lives in
the islands
fishes the pylons
and drinks his green label each day
he's writing his
memoirs
and losing his hearing
but he don't care what most people say
"Through
eighty six years
of perpetual motion,"
if he likes you, he'll smile and he'll
say,
"some of it's magic,
and some of it's tragic,
but I had a good life all the
way"
He went to Paris
looking for answers
to questions that bothered him so | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
