Lyrics The Tiger Lillies

The Tiger Lillies

Marseille

In a graveyard in Marseille

Where we dreamt our lives away

A long long time ago

Well I love you so

Well I know you won’t be saved

By romantic words I say

But I love you so

A long long time ago

Well we’re by forgotten graves

Where no one now does pray

And we hold hands which we know time

Is gonna pull away

By another’s grave

Christmas cards are lain

Which say I love you so

A long long time ago

Well we’re by forgotten graves

Where no one now does pray

And we hold hands which we know time

Is gonna wrench away

In the graveyards of Marseille

In the graveyards of Marseille

A long long time ago
