Free Across the Tile French Vintage Lounge Pop Song

Song Lyrics

[Intro]
(La da da da)
(La da da da)

[Verse 1]
Four minutes past three again
You order chamomile with lemon
I keep my eyes on page seven
Of a newspaper I cannot read
You stir three times clockwise
The spoon hits the porcelain edge
(Mmm)
A tiny silver signal sent across tile

[Chorus]
We trade silent glances like contraband
Across five small marble tables
You fold your napkin into a swan
I drink my Earl Grey far too fast
(Far too fast)
We are lovers who never speak

[Verse 2]
Your blue coat hangs beside the door
My damp umbrella drips on tile
The waiter knows our silent game
He never asks if we need sugar
I count the polka dots on your sleeve
Thirty-two before you turn your head
I pretend to watch the rain outside
You pretend to read your book

[Chorus]
We trade silent glances like contraband
Across five small marble tables
You fold your napkin into a swan
I drink my Earl Grey far too fast
(Far too fast)
We are lovers who never speak

[Bridge]
What if I bought your pastry today
Or dropped my gloves beside your chair
Would the illusion shatter into dust
Or would you simply nod and smile
(Nod and smile)
Instead we keep the distance safe
It pays better than reality

[Verse 3]
The clock strikes four in brass
You gather up your leather bag
I leave my tip beneath the saucer
Our eyes meet for a fraction of a second
(Just a second)
And that is enough for today

[Outro]
Until tomorrow at three
(La da da)
Same table by the radiator
(La da da)
My favorite stranger
(Oooooh)
