Evian - Jill Sobule

The starlight shimmers over Lac Léman

'Cross sweeping lawns in evening gowns they stroll along

Beyond the villa to the grand hotel where all seems well

The evening casts a languid spell

«Let's fall in love beside the lake in Evian

Let’s have another drink and share each other’s dreams

Let the water wash away these troubled times

There’s nothing we can do for them in Evian»

She left the homeland back in '17

Herself a refugee, although it seems a distant dream

She asked him

«What did they decide to do to help them through?»

He said, «Don't let it worry you

Let’s fall in love beside the lake in Evian

Let’s have another drink and share each other’s dreams

Let the water wash away these troubled times

There’s nothing we can do for them in Evian

Let’s fall in love beside the lake»
