zachary richard - bord de lac bijou lyrics

in south louisiana, in the attakapas wood
where the river meets the levee
planted in the cove is an old live oak
on the sh0r- of lake bijou (jewel)
amongst its leaves, in the tangle of the branches
the swallows return every spring
they find refuge in that old oak
on the sh0r- of lake bijou (jewel)

chorus:
turn, turn in my arms
hold me tight once again
stay with me underneath the live oak tree
on the sh0r- of lake bijou (jewel)
it was in 1957
the first time that i saw them
the two together, building their nest
on the sh0r- of lake bijou (jewel)
they would return when the winter was done
i called them pierre and marie
a big «monsieur » black as the night
his lady by his side
chorus
during lent this last april
i saw him one last time
a lone bird, waiting on his branch
on the sh0r- of lake bijou (jewel)
he was still, his heart breaking
watching from morning until night
until that sunday when he was gone
from the sh0r- of lake bijou (jewel)
chorus
—
.
