(Billie Holiday)
That bird with feathers of blue
Is waiting for you
Back in your own backyard
You'll see your castles in Spain
Through your window pane
Back in your own backyard
Oh you can go to the East
Go to the West
Someday you'll come
Weary at heart
Back where you started from
You'll find your happiness lies
Right under your eyes
Back in your own backyard
That bird with feathers of blue
Is waiting for you
Back in your own backyard
You'll see your castles in Spain
Through your window pane
Back in your own backyard
You can go to the East
Go to the West
Someday you'll come
Weary at heart
Back where you started from
You'll find your happiness lies
Right under your eyes
Back in your own
Back in your own
Back in your own backyardMadeleine Peyroux Lyrics Index

(Joséphine Baker)
On dit qu'au delà des mers
Là-bas sous le ciel clair
Il existe une cité
Au séjour enchanté
Et sous les grands arbres noirs
Chaque soir
Vers elle s'en va tout mon espoir
J'ai deux amours
Mon pays et Paris
Par eux toujours
Mon cŒur est ravi
Manhattan est belle
Mais à quoi bon le nier
Ce qui m'ensorcelle
C'est Paris, c'est Paris tout entier
Le voir un jour
C'est mon rêve joli
J'ai deux amours
Mon pays et Paris
Manhattan est belle
Mais à quoi bon le nier
Ce qui m'ensorcelle
C'est Paris, c'est Paris tout entier
Le voir un jour
C'est mon rêve joli
J'ai deux amours

I've got you on my mind
I'm feeling kind of sad and low
Got you on my mind
Feeling kind of sad and low
I'm wondering where you are
Wondering why you had to go
Tears begin to fall
Every time I hear your name
Tears begin to fall
Every time I hear your name
But since you went away
Nothing seems to be the same
No matter how I try
My heart keeps telling me that I
Can't forget you
If ever it should be
That you want to come back to me
I'm gonna let you
I've got you on my mind
I'm feeling kind of sad and low
Got you on my mind
Feeling kind of sad and low
I'm wondering where you are
Wondering why you had to go
No matter how I try
My heart keeps telling me that I
Can't forget you
If ever it should be
That you want to come back to me
I'm gonna let you
I've got you on my mind
I'm feeling kind of sad and low
Got you on my mind
Feeling kind of sad and low
I'm wondering where you are
Wondering why you had to go
I'm wondering where you are
Wondering why you had to goMadeleine Peyroux Lyrics Index

(Jerome Kerns)
Some day
When I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow
Just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
You're lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight
With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart
You're lovely
Never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart
You're lovely
Never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
Tonight
Just the way you look tonightMadeleine Peyroux Lyrics Index

(Galison/Peyroux)
Playin'
Stuck on the corner of the afternoon
I hear the sound
Some heart-aching
Oh just the same old tune
Playin'
Playin'
Autumn falling in my old chapel
I've got a mind to get the whole world shaking
Every little place I go
Tell you the story of the angels in the streets singing
There ain't no glory but the blues
And you'd lie in the rain
And all because you know you ain't got nothing to lose
Just playin, playin'
I know my life may be just a song
And I'll survive when the world's overtaken
Cause I love to play along
Tell you story of the angels in the streets
Singing there ain't no glory but the blues
And you'd lie in the rain
And all because you know you ain't got nothing to lose
Just playin, playin'
Maybe my life is just a song
I know I'll survive when the world's overtaken
Cause I love to play along
Yes I know I'll survive when the world's overtaken
Because I love to play alongMadeleine Peyroux Lyrics Index

(Billie Holiday)
When I hear them say
There's better living
Let them go their way
To that new living
I won't ever stray
'Cause this is heaven to me
Long as freedom grows
I want to seek it
If it's yes or no
It's me who'll speak it
'Cause the lord, He knows
That this is heaven to me
If you've got your hands
And got your feet
To sing your song
All through the street
You raise your head
When night is done
Shout your thanks up to the sun
So when I hear them say
There's better living
Let them go their way
To that new living
I won't ever stray
'Cause this is heaven to me
'Cause this is heaven to meMadeleine Peyroux Lyrics Index

Heaven help the child who never had a home
Heaven help the girl who walks the street alone
Heaven help the roses when the bombs begin to fall
Heaven help us all
Heaven help the poor man if he struggles one more day
Heaven help the rich man if he turns his back away
Heaven help the man who kicks the man who's got to crawl
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all
Help us all, Lord
Hear our call when we call
Heaven help us all
Heaven help the boy who won't reach twenty-one
And heaven help the man who gave that boy a gun
Heaven help the people with their backs against the wall
Heaven help us all
Heaven help the innocents who's final hour it is
Heaven help the angry men who take their lives with his
Help the true believers who believes in ours at all
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us Lord
Hear our call when we call
Heaven help us all
Now I lay me down in a troubled world asleep
And I pray, pray the Lord my soul to keep
Keep hatred from the mighty,
And the mighty from the small
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us Lord
Hear our call when we call
Heaven help us allMadeleine Peyroux Lyrics Index
