Jehnny Beth
French Countryside
[Verse 1]
If I ever see the French countryside again
On my way out of this aeroplane
I will ask you to take me back to that place by the river where we can be ourselves
Try a little harder
Oh my love don't desert me now
I've been figuring out what we talked about and how much I need to change

[Chorus]
I'll draw your body in the air
I'll whisper your name everywhere
And I'll sing my songs every night, defeat my fears, jump over fires
I'll be more self-disciplined, I'll sacrifice for you
I'll stay close to our love like bees over their hives

[Verse 2]
If I ever see the French countryside again
On my way out of this aeroplane
I know I went away babe, but I was always there
It's hard sometimes to show you really care
Oh my love don't deserve you now

[Bridge]
'Cause all my life I've been hanging around the wrong places
All my life I'm here at last telling you I ain't changing
If you wait for me I will show you
[Chorus]
I'll draw your body in the air
I'll whisper your name everywhere
And I'll sing my songs every night, defeat my fears, jump over fires
I'll be more self-disciplined, I'll sacrifice for you
I'll stay close to our love like bees over their hives

Oh, I will open my hands to catch the raindrops
If I ever see the French countryside again
