Wiley - Joshua Payne

Wiley was a boy I met by chance

Living in the southern part of Paris

He trained his dog to laugh and dance

While he played the grinder on the orchard fence

On the road to Etoilles

Singing lai da di dai da day

Making no defense for the boy

Living on the fence

But the man will live to find his place

And die for the chance to say

I loved you more Beck'

More than i ever loved Colette

More than i ever loved

The ferry made its way from Dover to Calais

Fading into waves upon a distant shore

I caught a trace of his laughing face

Living in the memory of me as a boy

And the words I didn’t say

Lai da di dai da day

Came back to the defense

Of the boy living on the fence

But the man will live to find his place

And die for the chance to say

I loved you more Beck'

More than i ever loved Colette

More than i ever loved
