[ar:The Decemberists]
[ti: The Legionnaire's Lament]
[00:01.00] I'm a legionnaire
[00:03.80] Camel in disrepair
[00:07.80] hoping for a frigidaire to come passing by
[00:14.80] I am on reprieve
[00:18.80] lacking my joie de vive
[00:21.00] missing my gay paris
[00:24.80] in this desert dry
[00:27.80] And I wrote my girl
[00:31.80] told her I would not return
[00:34.90] I've terribly taken a turn
[00:37.95]for the worst now I fear
[00:41.85]Its been a year or more
[00:44.97]since they shipped me to this foreign shore
[00:48.85]fighting in a foreign war
[00:52.00] so far away from my home
[00:55.98]If only summer rain would fall
[00:59.97]on the houses and the boulevards
[01:03.97]and the side walk bagatelles it's like a dream
[01:09.50]with the roar of cars
[01:13.65]and the lulling of the cafe bars
[01:17.55]the sweetly sleeping sweeping of the Seine
[01:30.16] Lord I don't know if I'll ever be back again
[01:33.95]la la la la dam la la la low
[01:41.58] Medicating in the sun
[01:44.85] pinched doses of laudanum
[01:47.13] longing for the old fecundity of my homeland
[01:54.75] Curses to this mirage!
[01:58.99] A bottle of ancient Shiraz
[02:01.95] a smattering of distant applause
[02:05.11] is ringing in my poor ears
[02:08.65] On the old left bank
[02:11.85] my baby in a charabanc
[02:15.95] riding up the width and length
[02:18.95] of the Champs Elysees
[02:22.75] If only summer rain would fall
[02:25.85] on the houses and the boulevard
[02:30.50] and the side walk bagatelles it's like a dream
[02:36.75] with the roar of cars
[02:40.95] and the lulling of the cafe bars
[02:44.85] the sweetly sleeping sweeping of the Seine
[02:50.65] Lord I don't know if I'll ever be back again
[02:57.65] la la la la dam
[03:01.15] la la la low
[03:21.95] If only summer rain would fall
[03:24.85] on the houses and the boulevard
[03:29.65] and the side walk bagatelles it's like a dream
[03:36.00] with the roar of cars
[03:39.65] and the lulling of the cafe bars
[03:42.95] the sweetly sleeping sweeping of the Seine
[03:49.95] Lord I don't know if I'll ever be back again
[03:56.65] be back again, be back again
[04:01.95] I'll be back again
