Wiley was a boy I met by chance Living in the southern part of Paris He trained his dog to laugh and dance While he played the grinder on the orchard fence On the road to Etoilles Singing lai da di dai da day Making no defense for the boy Living on the fence But the man will live to find his place And die for the chance to say I loved you more Beck' More than i ever loved Colette More than i ever loved The ferry made its way from Dover to Calais Fading into waves upon a distant shore I caught a trace of his laughing face Living in the memory of me as a boy And the words I didn't say Lai da di dai da day Came back to the defense Of the boy living on the fence But the man will live to find his place And die for the chance to say I loved you more Beck' More than i ever loved Colette More than i ever loved JPayne
