The Café Keeper And Ex-Photographer Lyrics

Wake up at three

Bake the bread

Have a cup of coffee

Have a cigarette

As the trucks go by

Over the bridge

I remember her singing

When we were kids

Elle chantait chaque jour (She used to sing everyday)

Et toujour (And always)

De l'amour (About love)

De l'amour (About love)

And I used to take photographs

My camera could see far

It was a little window

In the roof

To look at the stars

And I was overwhelmed

I was petrified

I put down my lens

I closed my eyes

And when I went to bed

I dreamt alone

Close up at three

Sweep the floor

Wrap the pastries

Smoke some more

Get dressed up

Go to the late mass

Skip out early

Say a Hail Mary for the trespass

I was overwhelmed

I was petrified

I put down my lens

I closed my eyes

And when I went to bed

I dreamt alone

Wake up at three...
