Tour de France [UK Version] lyrics

AMÉLIE:

Sir, may I lend a hand?

May I take your cane?

Careful of the curb

Here we go

BLIND MAN:

What are you doing?

AMÉLIE:

Putting down your cup

Turning down the lane

Listen to the squeak of the bakery cart

Leaving a trail of breadcrumbs

Do you hear the laugh coming from the priest?

He has crinkly eyes

BLIND MAN:

Who are you?

AMÉLIE:

Looking through the glass

Focus on the feast in the grocery window

There's a display that is three lemon splices deep

As children walk out the door holding

BLIND MAN:

Sweet lemon ices

BLIND MAN & AMÉLIE:

Sweet lemon ices

AMÉLIE:

I should take you back now

BLIND MAN:

No, I can stay a little longer

What was that?

AMÉLIE:

An envelope opens

A cat in a hallways

A filament flashes

Flickers and dies

And there goes a hat

Thrown in the air

AMÉLIE & ENSEMBLE:

Thrown in the air

AMÉLIE & BLIND MAN:

I can feel every stranger in Paris just waiting to collide

How a heart can pull like a moon

As we circle each other

And crashing together

AMÉLIE, BLIND MAN, & ENSEMBLE:

I can feel every stranger in Paris just waiting to collide

How a heart can pull like a moon

As we circle each other

And crashing together

AMÉLIE:

We end up open wide

Here where the bus is stopped you can a kiosk under staples and glue

Now the barber shop

Now the laundromat

Now we're at he metro

Adieu!

BLIND MAN:

Wait!

AMÉLIE:

Au revoir!

BLIND MAN:

Au revoir

ENSEMBLE:

[Vocalising]

AMÉLIE:

I can see everything clearly now
