Dylan Mondegreen - Broken French lyrics

I made landfall on your coastline Where no language barriers Could hold back your smile And you blushed when I mumbled out some words in broken french You whispered so softly, with none to translate I didn't mind, I didn't mind at all I felt sure that the message you tried to convey Was a lush declaration of love Now I'm looking for a lifeline A manoeuvre to pull out of this nosedive Cause you left me With promises as broken as my french You whispered so softly, with none to translate I didn't mind, I didn't mind at all I felt sure that the message you tried to convey Was a lush declaration of love I remember your words As we parted misty-eyed Under a southerly sky Then I thought you were sad Now from all the dictionaries I have read I've realized On the last day You really broke my heart In perfect french
