Lyrics

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

Chorus:
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

Chorus

I see a picture
By the lamp's flicker.
Isn't it strange how
Dreams fade and shimmer?

Chorus

I see a picture
By the lamp's flicker.
Isn't it strange how
Dreams fade and shimmer?

Chorus

Never going to get to France.
