Lyrics

The Ballad of Pierre and Mademoiselle Revisited
2001 Eric Nelson Thompson (ASCAP)

Stepped over the threshold
And through your bedroom door
That?s when I found you laying
Face down on the floor
Clutching a suicide note that said
?I can?t take this anymore..?

Went to the kitchen and saw the magazines
That you so carefully had doused with gasoline
You were trying to send a message
But I don?t know what you mean

I went to the cantina to sit with cousin Slim
He tried to persuade me to leave the country with him
I had a couple of beers instead and went to the ocean to take a swim

And the water was cool on my face
Transported to another time and place
But I want you to know
I want you to have no doubt
The heart will never know
The love it lives without

Went back to the villa to see Maria again
Should have known better--should have never gone in
In the front room were the Federales, Pierre and cousin Slim?

Woke up the next morning in my jail cell
The guard called me a murdering bastard and said I?d rot in hell
For all the suffering I?d inflicted on Pierre and madamoiselle

I put my head in my hands I had to stop and think
About what I?d said or done to push Maria over the brink
I walked across my cell and stopped to take a drink

And the water was cool on my face
I was transported to another time and place
But I want you to know
I want you to have no doubt
The heart will never know
The love it lives without
