Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Get to France
Mary Queen of chance, will they find you?
Never going to get to France
Could a new romance ever bind you?
[Verse 3]
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 never going to
[Verse 4]
Get to France
Mary Queen of chance, will they find you?
Never going to get to France
Could a new romance ever bind you?
[Verse 5]
(I see a picture)
By the lamp's flicker
(Isn't it strange how)
Dreams fade and shimmer?
[Verse 6]
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?
[Verse 7]
(I see a picture)
By the lamp's flicker
(Isn't it strange how)
Dreams fade and shimmer?
[Verse 8]
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?
[Verse 9]
Never going to get to France
Never going to
[Verse 10]
Never going to get to France
Never going to
Never going to get to France
Never going to
