about

Written in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, near the Seine and Pont Mirabeau.

lyrics

Heading to the river
Down the Rue de Boulainvilliers
To cast my cares and worries on the Seine

Pass Les Ondes and listen to
The waves that crash at Mirabeau
The current always pulls me back again
Through these Blue Doors

The streets they shine like diamonds in my eyes
I love the city in the rain…

Lean against the balustrade
And watch the river rise
Until the floods come carry me away
Through these Blue Doors

Vienne la nuit sonne l’heure
Les jours s’en vont je demeure

Looking for the tower
Flashing lights against the clouds
The Sacre Coeur a ghost behind the rain

It's hard to know which way to go
So I just let the river flow
It takes me where it wants to once again

Through these Blue Doors
