Simple Melodies

Three - Marseilles

Marseilles

(Verse 1)
The sun dips low, a fiery kiss, on Marseille's old walls
The harbor hums, a symphony, of seagulls' mournful calls
The scent of salt hangs heavy, on the breeze that whispers by
A timeless air, a weathered charm, beneath the azure sky

(Chorus)
Marseille, a city of stories, etched upon the soul
Of fishermen and artists, where passions fiercely roll
A kaleidoscope of colors, on cobblestone streets below
Whispers of ancient empires, in the wind that softly blows

(Verse 2)
The Palais Longchamp's fountains, sing a melody of grace
While Notre-Dame de la Garde, watches over this embrace
From hilltop heights, a beacon bright, against the fading light
A city of contrasts, where darkness blends with bright

(Chorus)
Marseille, a city of stories, etched upon the soul
Of fishermen and artists, where passions fiercely roll
A kaleidoscope of colors, on cobblestone streets below
Whispers of ancient empires, in the wind that softly blows

(Bridge)
In bustling markets, vibrant life, a symphony of sound
From vendors' calls to laughter's bloom, on hallowed, ancient ground
The scent of spices, fresh and strong, a tapestry of taste
A city built on dreams and hope, where time itself is paced

(Chorus)
Marseille, a city of stories, etched upon the soul
Of fishermen and artists, where passions fiercely roll
A kaleidoscope of colors, on cobblestone streets below
Whispers of ancient empires, in the wind that softly blows

(Outro)
The moon ascends, a silver pearl, upon the inky sea
Marseille sleeps, a city kissed, by love and memory
A tapestry of life and time, a canvas rich and deep
A whisper on the wind, a promise, that secrets it will keep.
