Night Train to Paris

about

Cecilie and Gabriel took a night train to Paris from Berlin and met with the mystical Flo in the District in Paris, collected Gabe's past in a castle outside of Fontainebleau. It's a song about letting go of the past and living in the now!

lyrics

Night Train to Paris © 2020 by Cecilie Beck/Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp

Took a night train to Paris
On the Russian roulette
But it never transpired
Didn’t get a couchette

Made our way to the district
Walked in the rain
Grey skies we’re in for it
Helped a woman with a cane

I'll never take a train again to Paris
I'd rather take a plane than do it again, do it again

Headed for the castle
To collect that past
The past is such a dazzle
The future is now at last

History is singing
Through revolution streets
Leaves lit Luminescent
Bells ringing free

I'll never take a train again to Paris
I'd rather take a plane than do it again, do it again

We travel underground
To meet the Norman King
And then we will dine in sound
At cafe de L’Industrie

Surprises full of magic
Secrets full of passion
Momentum is magnetic
It’s never out of fashion


I'll never take a train again to Paris
I'd rather take a plane than do it again, do it again

We are letting go of the past
Future now is here at last

I've seen the future, and it's all about now
Yeah!
