The Pogues
Pont Mirabeau
[Verse 1]
Below the Pont Mirabeau, slow flows the Seine
And all our loves together, must I recall again
Joy would always follow after pain

[Verse 2]
Hands holding hands, let us stand face to face
While underneath the bridge of our arms' entwined slow race
Eternal gazes flowing at wave's pace

[Chorus]
Let night fall, let the hours go by
The days pass on and here stand I

[Verse 3]
Love runs away, like running water flows
Love flows away, but oh, how slow life goes
How violent is hope, love only knows

[Chorus]
Let night fall, let the hours go by
The days pass on and here stand I

[Verse 4]
The days flow ever on, the weeks pass by in vain
Time never will return, nor our loves burn again
Below the Pont Mirabeau, slow flows the Seine
[Chorus]
Let night fall, let the hours go by
The days pass on and here stand I
