The Loveless Eternal

from Keep the Devil out of Hillsboro by Hemlock Smith

about

for this track, we decided to link Edith Piaf (or, at least, french chanson) to Led Zeppelin. Very unusual but Julien Feltin and Max Zampieri really bring the house down.

lyrics

The Loveless Eternal

So here I walk
Along this river
Towards the sea
Away from home
It is called
The boardwalk of sinners
And I sure am
All alone

So we talked
And we shivered
We’ve shed our tears
And we both knew
It is called
The road of all lovers
Whose hearts grew cold
And souls went blue

But I’ll sure will cry for you.

Along the stream
Of disenchantment
We’re floating by
Old current’s prey
It is called
« La promenade des sempiternels
Sans amour »---

And I’ll sure will die for you.

We’re driftwood – driftwood
We’re driftwood - driftwood

So here I walk
Along this river
Towards the sea
Away from home
This is the lane
Of the loveless eternal
And I sure am
All alone.

This is the tale
Of the loveless among you
And I sure will cry for you…
