Marianne Faithfull - Boulevard of Broken Dreams lyrics

rate me

I walk along the street of sorrow

The boulevard of broken dreams

Where gigolo and gigolette

Can take a kiss without regret

So they forget their broken dreams.

You laugh tonight and cry tomorrow

When you behold your shattered schemes.

And gigolo and gigolette

Wake up to find their eyes are wet

With tears that tell of broken dreams.

Here is where you'll always find me,

Always walking up and down,

But I left my soul behind me

In an old cathedral town.

The joy that you find here, you borrow,

You cannot keep it long it seems.

But gigolo and gigolette

Still sing a song and dance along

The boulevard of broken dreams.

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da,

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da.

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da,

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da.

The joy that you find here, you borrow,

You cannot keep it long it seems.

But gigolo and gigolette

Still sing a song and dance along

The boulevard of broken dreams.
