Lamppost by the Church at Night by Ryan Duffy published on 2023-07-30T22:13:12Z This romantic and nocturnal ballad draws on some experiences from the final night in Trois-Pistoles. Lamppost by the church at night Sun is fin’lly out of sight Memories come flooding back like movies in reverse But time crawls on; it can’t fit in your purse Long talks right next to the sidewalk With friends who ate all together Big group hug Heartstrings tugged Au revoir What a beautiful glimmer With feelings so inner and heartfelt goodbyes With some tears in our eyes It’s the Lamppost there that stands so tall Casts enough light after all Once upon a time I feel I’ve seen this sight before But maybe that’s a fable, nothing more A car is parked right beside us Its silver hue pale in moonlight Don’t you leave Pretty please ‘Til next time Here’s a night to remember With passion like embers And lamppost as witness To all of our business, oh High above the river You’ll meet folks from far and wide Here beside the river It’s where I had the best of times Lamppost by the church at night Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter
