Analysis of A Dream of Paris

Tony Woodward 1946 (Cheshire)



Last night a dream again

A long walk to Paris
From deep in the country

A stolen bicycle and a broken drink

Long Legs
Come to get me in a limousine

Django plays a tango

All down Montmatre he stumbles
Looking for a phantom

In the night

Catches the last Train into
Gare Du Nord
Place De L'opera is singing again

In Boulevard Housemann
Searching for the house the room
What's it all about
