Old Bayonne Lyrics

I was down in old Bayonne

She was walking along the riverfront

Her eyes were on the ground

The sun was shining down

I was coming from the alleyway

I'd been sitting alone at my favorite café

I saw her shadow growing long

Yeah the shadows grow long

In old Bayonne

Later by the posters of the four martyrs

Where the students all hang out

I saw her again

I saw her again

She was wearing a beret and a dark wool coat

And black boots to her knees

She has some style that girl

She has some style that girl

Down in old Bayonne

Makes me feel like coming home

Down in old Bayonne

Accidentally

Unintentionally

Old Bayonne

Later I was on the old stone bridge

It was sunset on the river

She came walking across

She stopped to watch

She was looking to the setting sun

She was looking like she might be someone

The way the colors lit her face

I couldn't take my eyes away

The light was perfect

I was staring kind of uncomfortable

She smiled and said it's beautiful

I felt something take hold

I got a little bold

I said, "Have you ever kissed a stranger

Who's standing with you on a bridge?"

She said "Yes I have"

She said "Yes I have"

She said "Yes I have"

Don'tcha love old Bayonne

Now I see her around regularly

She smiles and waves like she knows me

We never say a thing

We don't have to say a thing

When the sun is shining down

My eyes are on the ground

And shadows lie long in front of me

I like to look up and see her there

I like to look up and see her there

I like to look up and see her there

In old Bayonne

Accidentally

Unintentionally

Old Bayonne
