[00:08.424]When I turned 16 I was furious and restless
[00:15.321]Got a chancy girl haircut and a plane ticket to Paris
[00:23.811]I stayed there with Pansy, he had a studio in the seventh
[00:31.360]Lost his lover to a sickness, I slept beside him in his bed
[00:40.451]That's when I met Nancy, she was smoking on a gipsy
[00:47.112]She had a ring in her nose and her eyes were changing like moonstones
[00:54.713]She said "Open up late bloomer, it will make you smile
[01:03.856]I can see that fire burning, in you little child."
[01:13.574]Nancy came from Boston, she got in trouble very often
[01:20.313]Cause her parents had forgotten her, she would skate over the pond
[01:28.202]She was searching for the writer of a song that made her shiver
[01:36.065]She listened over and over on a Walkman cassette
[01:43.667]She said "Come with me late bloomer, for a little while,
[01:52.496]I wanna see that fire burning, in you little child."
[02:00.255]
[02:33.587]How could I resist her, I had longed for a big sister
[02:40.248]And I wanted to kiss her, but I hadn't done that
[02:49.104]We found the writer, he was just some kid from Boston
[02:55.530]I was jealous as I watched him talking to her
[03:03.549]But man he's not astonished, didn't look like no Adonis
[03:10.994]But as Nancy had promised, he was heavy as led
[03:18.491]And he said "Come with us late bloomer, for a little while,
[03:27.451]We wanna feel that fire burning, in you little child."
[03:37.378]Give me my candor, but I just had to have her
[03:43.647]And at the time I didn't mind sharing with him
[03:52.372]We rode in silence, all the way back to the seventh
[03:59.033]And I promised I'd write her but I never did
[04:06.426]And she said "Au revoir, late bloomer, for a little while,
[04:15.255]You gotta keep that fire burning, in you little child."
[04:24.451]
