Lyrics
Heading to the river
Down the Rue de Boulainvilliers
To cast my cares and worries on the Seine
Pass Les Ondes and listen to
The waves that crash at Mirabeau
The current always pulls me back again
Through these Blue Doors
The streets they shine like diamonds in my eyes
I love the city in the rain…
Lean against the balustrade
And watch the river rise
Until the floods come carry me away
Through these Blue Doors
Vienne la nuit sonne l’heure
Les jours s’en vont je demeure
Looking for the tower
Flashing lights against the clouds
The Sacre Coeur a ghost behind the rain
It's hard to know which way to go
So I just let the river flow
It takes me where it wants to once again
Through these Blue Doors

She returned to the UK, after 3 years Paris, and her latest recording, Blue Doors, is a collection of songs from each city, meandering through Brooklyn or down Rue de Boulanviller. Described as "gorgeously wistful and intensely poignant", her work continues to "balance brassiness and vulnerability with panache." - Variety.
