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...
