Valotte: Valotte

Julian Lennon "The actual place (Valotte) is an old chateau in the middle of France and it was kind of a place in the middle of nowhere, no distractions, so it was a good place to work and the actual chateau was a beautiful place so it was very inspiring out there and it was the kind of dream house you might want to live in you know, so that's what started off the whole song." - From Too Late For Goodbyes - The Julian Lennon Radio Special

Sitting on the doorstep of the house I can't afford,
I can feel you there
Thinking of a reason, well, it's really not very hard
to love you even though you nearly lost my heart
How can I explain the meaning of our love?
It fits so tight, closer than a glove

Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wond'ring if we're really ever gonna get that far
Do you know there's something wrong?
'Cause I've felt it all along

I can see your face in the mirrors of my mind
Will you still be there?
We're really not so clever as we seem to think we are
We've always got our troubles so we solve them in the bar
As the days go by, we seem to drift apart
If I could only find a way to keep hold of your heart

Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wond'ring if we're really ever gonna get that far
Do you know there's something wrong?
'Cause I've felt it all along

Sitting in the valley as I watch the sun go down
I can see you there.
Thinking of a reason, well, it's really not very hard
to love you even though you nearly lost my heart
When will we know when the change is gonna come?
I've got a good feeling and it's coming from the sun

Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wond'ring if we're really ever gonna get that far
Do you know there's something wrong
We'll stick together 'cause we're strong

Valotte

Julian Lennon, Justin Clayton & Carlton Morales
