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 grounds,
like a shadow,
roaming in far off territory
over your shoulder,
stories unfold, you're
searching for sanctuary
you know you're

[ repeat chorus ]

i see a picture
by the lamp's flicker
isn't it strange how
dreams fade and shimmer?

[ repeat chorus ]

i see a picture
by the lamp's flicker.
isn't it strange how
dreams fade and shimmer?

[ repeat chorus ]

never going to get to france.
never going to...
never going to get to france.
never going to...

never going to get to france.
never going to...
