The Forgotten Tales Lyrics - 1996
[Originally performed by Mike Oldfield]
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
[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
Never going to
