Sleeping In Paris

I'll send the angels to watch over you tonight

And you send them right back to me

A lonely road is a bodyguard

If we really want it to be

There's fascination behind every window

But I know you really care for me

And soon we'll be sleeping in Paris

And we can set those angels free

No one sees behind the mask

No one knows I'm sinking fast

But soon we'll be sleeping in Paris

And we can set those angels free

Love is just a lunar slave

It's tied to the ebb and flow

Generations get glued to the waves

Just to see which way they'll go

There's desperation on wild street corners

But I think you're just waiting for me

And soon we'll be sleeping in Paris

And we can set those wild ones free

No one sees behind the door

But every day it's one step forward

And soon we'll be sleeping in Paris

And we can set those wild ones free

All those nights I laid with my eyes closed

But not sleeping at all, those nights

I thought I knew which way the wind blows

But now it's blowing me back to you

And the wind speaks French too

No one sees and no one knows

But every day I'm letting go

And soon we'll be sleeping in Paris

Soon we'll be sleeping in Paris

And we can set those angels free
