Pia Douwes Lyrics
"Milady Is a Phoenix"

Milady is a Phoenix

Oh France, unforgettable
Where else does summer smell the same
God, how I've missed you
Paris, darling we've been to long apart
But look who's headed home
For an April fresh start
I couldn't be away from you
Another single day from you
Yet, did I really stray from you
Not in my heart, no not in my heart

The lady returning now is not the one you knew
For seeing and discerning now
She sees what she must do
With a flutter of her lashes
She has taken to the sky
Like a Phoenix from the ashes
She has risen, risen, risen, risen, risen
Now watch her fly
Now watch her fly

I've lived my life alone enough
I've travelled on my own enough
I've struggled, and I've grown enough
To know I can't be strong
And I've seen enough, and I've known enough
To know where I belong

Yes, Milady is back again
On course and in control
In triumph and on track again
Eyes verbally on her goal
With her gift for making splashes
And her flair for flying high
Like a Phoenix from the ashes
She has risen, risen, risen, risen, risen
Now watch her fly
Now watch her fly

And was that fantasy only a fantasy
While I was lost
Will he have waited
And by some miracle
Some crazy miracle can
What we lost be recreated
Deep in my mind is a voice which says yes
Take back what you had before
This one of a kind doesn't settle for less
That all she can dream has ever dreamed and more

So, Milady arriving now
Won't fly away so fast
Determent on reviving now
The ashes of her past
So, Milady is a Phoenix
Who was all but pome and dry
And we all know that a Phoenix
Once she's risen, risen, risen, risen, risen
Will never die
Will never die
Will never die
Nor will I
