Lyrics
I live in the corner of old Montmartre My father comes home sozzled every night And to feed the four of us My poor mother works in the wash-house When I'm sick, I lean out the window I watch outsiders pass by When the sun comes out Things appear that scare me a little On my street are people strolling about I can hear them whisper, and in the night When I fall asleep, lulled by an old tune I'm suddenly woken by screams Whistles and shuffling steps Going to and fro Followed by the silence that makes my whole heart cold On my street are shadows strolling about And I shiver, and I'm cold, and I'm scared My father once told me, "Daughter You're not gonna stay here forever You're good for nothing - it runs in the family You should think about earning money Men think you are rather pretty You just have to leave at night Some women earn a living By walking the sidewalk" On my street are women strolling about I can hear them hum, and in the night When I fall asleep, lulled by an old tune I'm suddenly woken by screams Whistles and shuffling steps Going to and fro Followed by that silence that makes my whole heart cold On my street are women strolling about And I shiver, and I'm cold, and I'm scared And for weeks and weeks I've not had a house, not had any money left I don't know how other girls do But I couldn't find any clients I ask passers-by for charity A piece of bread, a little warmth I'm not much of an audacious girl But now I'm the one to scare them On my street every night I stroll about You can hear me whimper, and in the night When the wind heaves its old tune to the sky My whole body is frozen by the night And I fall apart, I wait for the Lord To come to me And invite me to warm myself up close to him On my street are angels taking me away Forevermore my nightmare is over
