To France

Taking on water,
Sailing a restless sea
From a memory,
A fantasy.
The wind carries
Into white water,
Far from the islands.
Don't you know you're
Never going to get to France.
Mary, Queen of Chance,
will they find you?
Never going to get to France.
Could a new romance
ever bind you?
Walking on foreign ground,
Like a shadow,
Roaming in far off Territory.
Over your shoulder,
Stories unfold, you're
Searching for sanctuary.
You know you're
Never going to get to France...
I see a picture
By the lamp's flicker.
Isn't it strange
how Dreams fade and shimmer?
Never going to get to France...
I see a picture
By the lamp's flicker.
Isn't it strange
how Dreams fade and shimmer?
Never going to get to France...
