about

Partly inspired by the Paula McLain Novel about Ernest Hemingway's first wife

lyrics

The Paris Wife
Bad Dreams – Woke me up this morning
Sad dreams – haunt me through the night
I’m so afraid to turn out the light
Sleeping – why’s it so difficult
Moonlight - Shining through the blinds
Should I turn on my bedside light?

Paris – Should have been so wonderful
But she was taken in by lies
Sadness – solitude was her reward
Every night - The Paris Wife
Paris – a never ending love affair
Even though we were so poor
Sadness
Every night – The Paris Wife

Hemingway – didn’t have a lot to say
Should have been faithful to his wife
But it was much late and she gave up that fight

Paris – Should have been so wonderful
Ezra, Scott and their crowd
Drinks flow – Acting so Bohemian
Every Night
Paris – a never ending love affair
Even though we were so poor
Sadness
Every night – The Paris Wife
