'Paris Lonely' Paula Jeanine Bennett and Richard X Bennett

recorded 4/27/20
"Here's what she says
Paris is more lonely than L.A.
The little streets, tiny lanes, soft light, fog

Here in the lonely city
Here in the lonely city

Solitude in a city of lovers
maybe if I was a poet she says
I would rest easier without the warm,
The wider stride, the arm around, the breath at night,
In Paris

Here in the lonely city
Here in the lonely city

L.A.’s a dreamer
leaning up against a palm tree
strikes a match
Another perfect day
Another perfect day

Here in the lonely city
Here in the lonely city"
