Been down the river in the evening rain
And I sat in the chair
Shadows have fallen on the boulevard
The names are still there

Nights in France
Ain't the same anymore
Nights in France

Down on the avenue the street cafés
I know very well
Familiar faces in the photographs
Still lie where they fell

Nights in France
Ain't the same anymore
Nights in France
I'd rather be in London

The chairs are empty and the stage is bare
The dream fade away
My mind is leaving on a crowded train
But my heart wants to stay

Nights in France
Ain't the same anymore
Nights in France
Nights in France
Ain't the same anymore
Nights in France
I'd rather be in London
