Miles And Miles of Milles Davis
Meeting Juliette Gréco in bed in the afternoon with Miles Davis
In a cheap hotel on Saint-Germain
Seeing them later in love at the Club Tabou
A ghost of New Orleans
Juliette dances with Miles' trumpet
Miles and miles and miles of Miles Davis
Echoes around the room
With Juliette sobbing and moaning the verses
A funeral of sublime passion
"I didn't know he was black," she said
"I don't know why, I just didn't
And when I discovered he was black
I just cried and cried"
Jazz is Paris and Paris is jazz
"So why didn't you sing this song Juliette?" I said
"I can't," Juliette said, "I only sing in French"
In a cheap hotel on Saint-Germain
Seeing them later in love at the Club Tabou
A ghost of New Orleans
Juliette dances with Miles' trumpet
Miles and miles and miles of Miles Davis
Echoes around the room
With Juliette sobbing and moaning the verses
A funeral of sublime passion
"I didn't know he was black," she said
"I don't know why, I just didn't
And when I discovered he was black
I just cried and cried"
Jazz is Paris and Paris is jazz
"So why didn't you sing this song Juliette?" I said
"I can't," Juliette said, "I only sing in French"
