Rue Something - The Lucksmiths
Three AM: three dozen or so friends we'd met hours ago

Filled a bar to capacity
You'd learned school French for a year
Ordered 36 beers

We all cheered your audacity
Asleep on the cubicle floor
We all tried the door
And assumed it was some fumbling junkie
Well you had gone missing before for an hour or more
So it just hadn't sunk in
If I knew then what I knew ten hours later

I would have waited

Bleary-eyed freezing and shocked as they unscrewed the lock

You slurred merci then mercy
Kicked through the picturesque rain to the edge of the Seine

No-one knew where you were
See if I knew then what I knew ten hours later

I would have waited

Broken ribs hurt when you walk

Red chalk on wet café blackboards
Taxis slow and then go
Their red eyes looking back at you stumbling

You missed the bus we lost touch
You don't talk to me much

When you do it's with kindness
The last time we met there were tears
You said Mate it's been years

Can we leave this behind us
But I knew then what I know ten years later

I should have waited

Oh the details don't matter

It was such-and-such plaza

Some avenue maybe

Rue something Rue something
