Simon C’est Moi
© 2006 Eileen Hemphill-Haley / H2Tunes Music (ASCAP)
Black eyes, could be the devil
Holds my gaze straight and level, and makes me stop and look at things
But I was brought up differently
Talk like a Cajun man
Sound like you come from a foreign land
But I am the stranger here today
Swamp mud where your blood should be
Gives you such sobriety
While I need more medicine just to make it through the day
I run like a fool, totally forgetting how to play it cool
When black water meets Fifth Avenue
Simon, c’est moi
Simon, it’s me
Standing up in a shallow boat, see if I can keep my life afloat
On my way to your house tonight
Take the subway, then a cab past the snakes and the gators
Oh yeah, maybe this should wait till later
No one should need someone so bad
Simon, c’est moi
Simon, it’s me
Black eyes, could be the devil
Hold my gaze straight and level
Make me stop and look at things
It’s why I keep coming back
The cops can call off the search
I’m standing at the alter of your voodoo church
Where black water meets Fifth Avenue
Simon, c’est moi
Simon, it’s me
