Massif Centrale

I’ve no number if you want to call

Massif Centrale

There’s an ivy crawling on my gate

I stay up late

Sleep in gardens where I play my lute

Where I laid my roots

Now the clock is stopping faithfully

She’s taking me

Monsieurs at nine

That is my promise

Have some wine

Please don’t run away

Madams at nine

Baby, honest

Have some wine

Please don’t run away

I thought I’d take a chance

And forget about the States

I thought I’d gravitate

To the hills of central France

And so I left the world below

And into the rocks I climbed

Now I’m living in the cold

But I’m looking for the sign

That’s the sign

Of her love behavior

That’s the sign

That I’m looking for

And I’ve seen you in the movies

And I’ve seen you at the store

And if I stare a little more

Well, that’s because you move me

I can see it in your eyes

I can hear it when you talk

Darling when I see you walk

You seem so very nice

That’s the sign

Of her love behavior

That’s the sign

That I’m looking for

It sure is cold here in the summer

I haven’t got a number

But the sky is very bright

And the sun is very clear

I can smell it in the wind

‘Cause I guess that it’s the time

And I saw the way you grinned

You were giving me the sign

That’s the sign

Of her love behavior

That’s the sign

That I’m looking for (2x)

Monsieurs at nine

That is my promise

Have some wine

Please don’t run away

Madams at nine

Baby, honest

Have some wine

Please don’t run away

No, please don’t run away, no no

No, please don’t run away
